Revelation 3:15-19
“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.
Indifference, Lord, just indifference to Your word, lip service on Sunday morning and rejection at noon to turn to the blandishments of the world. Where is the fire that burns in the belly to carry the word of salvation and repentance? Where has our zeal gone? Where am I?
