Emergent church leaders need a vision for the church that encompasses all the letters of Revelation. They need to see and talk about the problems of over-tolerance and under-definition as well as the problems of lovelessness and listlessness. There are undoubtedly many Ephesus churches, as emergent leaders are quick to point out, but these same leaders underestimate the problems of Pergamum and Thyatira. As a result, they end up rebuking not just the faults of Ephesus churches, but their strengths as well, tearing down what Jesus commends in order to strengthen what Jesus condemns.----Kevin DeYoung
