Lesson 4006

 Lesson (4006)(01-06-23)  Revelation 3:14-22

    “And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”

    Today’s quote is John’s letter from Jesus Christ to the church at Laodicea. I believe this quote is directly intented for today’s churches. 

    It ever there was ever a time in history when the churches have gone “lukewarm”, or, even cold and indifferent, it is today. That fact is evident by the massive disinterest demonstrated by today’s, so-called, Christians. 

    It seems that thier only interest is the non-bothersome warming of the pews at the local church once or twice a week instead of taking the word of God’s amazing saving grace to the streets where the people are. 

    If we, the children of God, actually believe what we preach, we should be shouting the good news of eternal salvation from the rooftops EVERY day! Instead most choose to sit in a pew every time the church doors swing, waiting for the sinners to come to us by simple happenstance.

   If we choose not to be spewed out of the mouth of Christ, we should be wearing our faith like a neon lighted crown so that everyone we come in contact with can see it.~
