It came to me while watching TV. Don’t tell me you can’t watch TV and think at the same time.
A teenager was being featured on the Today 
Show. Her bit was about redefining the American Dream; the big house, loving family, climbing the corporate ladder or anything that you can add to the list. This teen had become morally sick about the state of poverty in the world and so found it necessary to “redefine, with her family, the American Dream in such a way that they could do something significant to address their soul ache.
It got me thinking about the Christian Life Dream. First, how would you define this dream? To start, here are a few criteria in defining your list:
Well, that’s a good start for now. Actually, many Christians will say, “this is where I get off”.
“Hope for everyday life” is in living your Christian-Life Dream. Think on it. I plan to continue on this thought in the near future.

Revelation 2:12-17Revelation 2:12-17
English: World English Bible - WEB
12 “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write:
“He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
13 “I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn’t deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
15 So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise TR reads “which I hate” instead of “likewise”.
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, Manna is supernatural food, named after the Hebrew for “What is it?”.

"where Satan has his throne."
Religion was big business there, most of them directed by Satan. His headquarters were there. Headquarters have moved. He’s not in hell, he’s "prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour" (1 Peter 5:81 Peter 5:8
English: World English Bible - WEB
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
