Lukewarm Chriatianity

16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—Revelation 3:16-17

 In their spiritual life, their religion, their faith, their devotion to God, and their love, the Laodicean Christians were neither cold nor hot. The church was not cold or hostile to the Gospel; she did not reject the faith. But neither was the church hot and enthused about the Gospel; she was not excited and on fire about the faith. She was simply indifferent to the Gospel. She was indifferent about her devotion and commitment. She was indifferent in her love. Yes, the members of that church claimed to be Christian, yet it made no difference in what they did or how they lived.
 Do these same issues that Jesus had with the church of Laodicea describe us and our relationship with God.Have we become indifferent towards the word,towards the things of God, does the the things that we once got exited in terms of God and His word no longer move us or stir us.Has the fire and the passion that we had when we first accepted Jesus as our savior died down to just the embers of the fire we once had or even worse has that fire just simply gone out.Has our relationship been replaced by religion by a form of Godliness yet our lives deny the very power of God and His word.
  As I have said before that it is time that we the church the body of Christ awaken ourselves from our state of mediocrity and stir up the gift that is been given us the gift of life grace and mercy.The gift of the Power and annointing of the Holy Spirit and BE THE CHURCH.
