A famous church in a famous city and to be honest, a church most of us would want to be part of. The worked hard and did good deeds, the took the responsibility of building God's house seriously. An alive and active church and yet Jesus had this against them... they had forgotten their first love. They were so busy doing that they neglected being. Their works became more important than their worship.

This is something that each one of us can easily fall prey to. We are so busy with our Fathers work that we actually forget to be with our Father. God is more interested in relationship with us than anything we can do for Him. The tension for us is to not be idle and lazy with what He has commissioned us to do, but also not neglect the most important thing in our lives and that is the person of Jesus.
