Avoid Being Half Hearted.

Revelation 3:15-16 (New International Version)

15I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.


Lukewarm water makes a disgusting drink (have you ever tried a lukewarm coffee?).

The church in Laodicea had become lukewarm and thus distasteful and repugnant.

The believers didn't stand for anything (and probably fell for everything). Their indifference had led to idleness.

By neglecting to do anything for Christ the church had become hardened and self satisfied.

There is nothing more disgusting than a half hearted, in name only Christian who is self sufficient.

Don't go there. It is not a pretty sight.


Have a good day,

Peter Clark.
