Lukewarm

 I am in Revelation Chapter 3 and I read these words: “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth." Revelation 3:15-16.  How do I explain lukewarm?  There is a local advertisement that asks are you sitting on the fence? I think a look warm person is still sitting on the fence. They want to be a Christian but haven't committed themselves. They probably go to church week after week but other than that not involved in any way. God is saying you might as well be cold because lukewarm does not get you into heaven. God says He will spit us out. I think a lukewarm person acts like a Christian around other Christians and as the world around non-Christians. They will not stand up and be counted. The Bible tells us we will face persecution if we follow Christ. I think a lukewarm person wants to follow Christ but does not want any persecution. We need to be salt and light in this world. We need to stand up even when the going gets tuff. Being a Christian is not the easiest thing in the world to do. Sometimes you have to make hard decisions. Sometimes you stand your ground when everyone else is of a different opinion. I lived my conscience and sometimes it seems to put me at odds with everyone around me. Even when the going gets tuff I want to side with Christ. I want to be known as a Christian. I certainly don't want to be considered lukewarm.  God bless, LVZ.
