Rev 3:1 talks about the church in Sardis. The Holy Spirit says (my para-phrase) "I know you and what you do. You have this reputation of being productive but your not."
The letter is addressing the church as a whole, but we as individuals are the church, we are the body and we make up the church. We can say all the right things and do all the right things and develop the reputation of being a productive Christ follower. But are saying and doing the right things enough?
1. Weekend worship
2. Daily personal study
3. Small group membership
4. Serving others
These are some of the things that are the "right" things. Sometimes if we are not careful it can also be merely going through the motions.
It's never about me. It's about loving God and others, and teaching them to do the same.
