Lukewarmness

Pastor Daniel Goulding · Dec 18, 2023

Drawing from Jesus' letter to the church in Laodicea in Revelation 3:14-22, Pastor Daniel warns that the American church has been sold a lie: that you can sit comfortably on the fence between faith and the world. Jesus uses the strongest language found anywhere in the seven letters — that a lukewarm church makes Him want to vomit — to show that half-hearted commitment is, in His eyes, no commitment at all. The cure is not self-improvement but honest acknowledgment of our condition, identifying the root causes of our spiritual apathy, and actively receiving from Jesus the gold, white garments, and eye salve that only He can provide.
