"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!"That is one scary thought: to be spat out of Jesus' mouth because we are not completely sold out to Him! He does not want lukewarm followers. He wants people whose eyes are focused on the Kingdom, and not on earthly desires. You are either for Him or against Him, there is no medium.
I see all the people at my school who claim to be Christians, yet they do absolutely nothing to show it besides going to church on Sundays and Wednesdays (and just because you go to church, that doesn't mean you're an actual Christian). I know that people make mistakes and that even the best slip up from time to time, but I am referring to those who constantly and comfortably living in sin while they still wear the God team's jersey. They think that since God's grace is abundant, they can go on sinning because they claim they know Christ (Just read the book of Jude and see their fate). I wish they would stop degrading the name of God by calling themselves Christians and leading a sinful life. That is not the way Jesus intended us to be. I am both saddened and angry at these people, for I know what their fate will be like, and I know how angry God is at them. Wouldn't you be mad if someone went around saying "(your name) said this about you," and it was mean, and you didn't even say it in the first place? Well, can't you imagine how God feels when His people do that?
"Christian" literally means "Little Christ." Let's live like it.
God, I know that no human, besides Jesus, is perfect, and that we all slip up from time to time.I pray that You open up our eyes and give us a wake up call so that we can truly start living for You like we should have been doing from day one.
