Lukewarm?
From Francis Chan’s “Lukewarm and Loving It!” (22:15), on Revelation 3:14-19:
(It’s more powerful to hear him say it.)
“What else is there to think about? Ok, so you understand what lukewarm is? So you’re gonna be spit out of the mouth of God, and you just go ‘OK’. I go, Man… You shouldn’t do ANYTHING until you figure out how to be on fire for God. You should be down on your face – You shouldn’t eat again until you come before God and just fast and pray, ‘God get me on fire, I’m not on fire, you’ve gotta get me on fire for you. I want to be in love with you. I’ve gotta see how valuable you are compared to all this other junk. Get me here!’ That should be all you care about. Don’t go to work tomorrow if you’re lukewarm. Man, sell your house, just move, live in the- Do whatever it takes! You can’t end your life lukewarm. You get that? I mean, why are Jesus’ words so strong? He says in the next verse, verse 19, why does he say it so harshly? Verse 19: ‘Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline, so be ernest and repent.’”
