In John’s vision, God had strong words for the church of Laodicea:
Revelation 3:15, 19 (NASB)
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! … Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.
No lukewarm faith. No straddling the fence. No compromise with our culture.
Forgive me, Lord, for my half-hearted faith. I want to be zealous for You–no excuses, even (especially!) when it’s uncomfortable. Show me where I’m going wrong. Teach me to welcome Your discipline.
