    Memorial Day is a time to remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. As Christians, we are also reminded of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and are called to live sacrificially in our daily lives.

    Biblical obedience. Daily surrender. Sacrificial love. Passionate evangelism. Unashamed holiness. These are not lofty, elite-level Christian goals—they are the standard Jesus set. The normal Christian life, in Jesus’ eyes, is anything but lukewarm.

    Go! And Live What Jesus Expected Revelation 3:15-16 (NLT): "I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!" Introduction: Setting the ...read more
