Ern Baxter on the Ephesian Church

"What was the sin of the Ephesian church? (Revelation 2:5) ... They left their first love at the point where they had stopped being loving in pressing the claims of truth ... I believe that He was referring to the fact that they had become so severe and so dedicated to being 'right' that they had moved into legalistic righteousness and had lost the touch of love".

Ern Baxter in "Repentance" from "Vintage Years - Selected Articles from New Wine's First Decade: 1969-1979" - New Wine Publishers, Mobile, Alabama - (p27).
