“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm — neither hot nor cold — I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” — Revelation 3:15-16, NIV
Many people enjoy a caffeinated beverage in the morning. Some people may make a hot pot of coffee or tea while others may prefer a cooling glass of iced coffee or tea. It is not often that people request a beverage to be lukewarm. In fact, many people may not even want their beverage anymore if it reaches the dreaded room temperature.
As people, we may fall into a lukewarm lifestyle. Perhaps, our passion or fire for Christ has died down and we do not make an effort to grow spiritually. Perhaps, we have felt distant from God and have fallen away from healthy habits. No matter the case, being lukewarm is not a good place to be.
Fortunately, much like how people put their beverage into the microwave to reheat it, we can become warm and on fire for Christ again. We have to decide to follow Christ and not take an indifferent approach. Going all in might not be easy, but it is worth it.
