Are You Lukewarm?
How would you describe yourself
as a follower of Jesus Christ? Are you dedicated, committed, zealous?
Or would lukewarm, mediocre, half-hearted better describe you? What
does lukewarm look like? Francis Chan in the book Crazy Love
would say those that are lukewarm look like this. |
Are You
Lukewarm?
Every Christian must pause from
time to time and look inward. Paul told the Corinthians,
“Examine yourselves as to
whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves” (2
Corinthians 13:5). Self-examination is not optional—it is
necessary. Without it, we risk drifting into spiritual apathy
without realizing it. The Lord’s words to Laodicea in Revelation
3:15–16 remain a piercing warning:
“I know your
works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were
cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm… I will vomit you
out of My mouth.” |
