Have you ever considered yourself to be a "lukewarm Christian"? The term is defined as someone who claims to be a follower of Jesus but lives as though they are sufficient in themselves and don't need Him. In this episode, I open up about my long history of being a lukewarm Christian as well as the many dangers that come with not recognizing your own complacency. Even thought we may attend church on Sundays or say and do the right things, we may not really be fully committed to Jesus nor meaningfully engaged in the calling He has for our lives. Revelation 3:15-16 states: “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." We can't have the best of both worlds as a true Christian. Do we really want Jesus to save us from our sins, or would we rather use Christianity as a cover-up for our own selfish desires and behaviors? The sign of genuine faith in Christ is a passionate commitment to God, His people and the calling He has for us.
