Church History
Sardis - AGE OF REFORMATION / attempt to reform Christendom from Papal errors

And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; 

These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; 

*I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 

--Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. 

--If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white: for they are worthy. 

--He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation 3:1-6

Sardis signifies " Song of joy," or " that which remains."
