Are you Hot?

Revelation 3: 15 - 16

¹⁵ I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!

¹⁶ So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

I think most church people if they were asked would give an obvious answer to the hot/cold question.

Not many people would confess to being luke warm, that’s for sure.

So if you missed church 8 times or more during the summer, what would that make a person? Hot or cold?

And if I were to truly ask that question this morning of some people, many might give the obvious response… “Are you judging me?!!”

That might be an unmistakable sign of being luke warm or cold all together.

If you just stated that your red hot on fire, and you’re wrong about that, God will correct you  just be sure of that.

I don’t meet too many people these days, who would out and out admit their freezing cold.

I think we look at other people in our churches, and we compare ourselves to them.

That would probably be our first mistake.

A fired up believer has distinguishing charter traits, that ice cold or luke warms ones don’t have.

When you see a hot on fire follower of Jesus, there’s usually no mistaking them.

If you’re making steady progress in your walk of faith, you are most likely stoking the fire.

If you’re not, then maybe the fire has gone out all together.

Seriously, I don’t want Jesus to treat me as this big old loogie, or vomit one day, when all along I thought I was this hot thing, and then found out that I wasn’t…
