     | 375 views

    As we navigate life as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ we encounter storms and difficulties. The Apostle Peter warns us to stay vigilant or careful, alert as we have an adversary the devil who does not want to see us win and triumph in life.

    The Danger Of Lukewarmness

    Contributed by Benjamin Beckley on Sep 1, 2023
     | 3,598 views

    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

    Whether it's deep-rooted habits in your life that refuse to move, or mountain-like problems that you're facing that you cannot overcome, or a challenge so great like planting something where there is no soil, God says, your faith is enough to solve those problems.

    Today, we will focus on a prayer made by the disciples that had a profound impact on their lives and ministry. In Luke 17:5, the disciples asked Jesus, "Increase our faith!"

    In the book of Genesis, we are asked if there is anything too hard for the Lord. Jeremiah provides us with the answer in Jeremiah 32:17, affirming that there is nothing too hard for Him!
