Dare To Be Different

Contributed by Robert Shaver on Jan 2, 2012

Many are drawn to a camouflage Christianity that blends in with the world but Jesus has called us to wear bright orange vests and stick out. Why? Revelation 3:14-22; John 13:35; John 15:8; Exodus 4; Mark 16:17-20

Scripture Reading: Revelation 3:14-22 Isn't that crazy? A lukewarm Christian - the idea of it is absurd. It is crazy because who starts off their Christian walk like that?

Yuck: The Lukewarm Church Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 7, 2018

Christ delivers a message to those who are Christian in name only. Being neither zealous for good works nor orthodox in their doctrine, they are lukewarm and sickening to Christ.

The Danger Of Lukewarmness

Contributed by Benjamin Beckley on Sep 1, 2023

Lukewarmness is a dangerous place to be in our relationship with God. When we are lukewarm, we are not fully committed to him. We are not passionate about his love or his ways. We are not willing to put our all into following him.

In the book of Revelation, Jesus warns the church of Laodicea that he will spit them out of his mouth because they are lukewarm. What does it mean to be lukewarm? It means to be neither hot nor cold. It is to be indifferent, half-hearted, and apathetic. Lukewarmness is a dangerous place to be in ...read more

Jesus lovingly exposes our self-sufficiency, invites us to deeper dependence on Him, and offers restoration, hope, and true riches for our lukewarm hearts.
