"Continual Offering"

Revelation 2:18  "And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write:  The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze, says this:

Acts 16:14 A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, a worshiper of God, was listening; and the Lord opened her heart {i.e., “will”} to respond to the things spoken by Paul.

Revelation 2:19  'I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and perseverance, and that your deeds of late are greater than at first.

Revelation 2:20 'But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

Matthew 5:14  "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden”

Matthew 5:13  "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.”
