Hot or Cold?
Which are you?
Simple, simple question.
Are you hot?
On fire for God. Burning every second because you want to be near to God. Every breath you take is for God. You inhale God. You need God. Without God your life is black. Without God your life would be nothing. Everything you do is in accordance with Gods will. You feel an eternal restlessness, awkwardness and burning desire to be any where other than where you are now, because now isn’t close enough to God.
Are you hot or cold.
Are you cold?
You feel absolute hatred for God. You constantly do evil things and feel nothing about it. You enjoy hurting people, you enjoy suffering. You sin, and you like it. You feel a raging emptiness and you fill it with stuff. You know things are bad, but you do them anyway. You hate what is good, you hate what is right, and you hate what is pure. You fight what is good. You fight God. God is the enemy. God is good, but you hate good. Good is bad, boring, lame, and meaningless. Meaning to you, is whatever feels best.
Are you hot or cold?
Chances are, you are somewhere in between.
You are a luke warm Christian.
You are a luke warm Christian.
And God hates that more than he hates the cold ones.
GOD HATES IT.
Why do Christians ignore that particular part of the bible?
Do Christians even read the bible?
Do Christians even read the word of the God they swear is their whole life?
Interesting.
Why do you think God hates Luke-warm Christians?
I think it is quite simple.
Imagine you have a business. A great business that you have dedicated your life to. Heck, you’ve even given your sons life to. Imagine the lives of your sons and daughters depended on it.
Imagine you start hiring people to manage your company. You give them your name, you adopt them and you hand over your responsibilities to them.
Imagine they DON’T take on your responsibilities, live the way they always had, yet still proclaim your name.
Instead, they are giving you a BAD reputation instead of glorifying you (the sole purpose of their existence) and saving no one.

Bad analogy, I know. But the point is still the same. How can we expect God’s riches and Gods reward when we do not give everything of ourselves?
How can we not take all of God when it is being offered?

God will draw to you the amount you draw to him.
Paul Washer, my favourite preachers told a story about a boy that he saw dying on the side walk. He was shot 5 times in the stomach by a Muslim, because he refused to deny the name of Jesus.
That boy was 5 years old.
That is a radical Christian.
He went on to ask how we can claim to be radical Christians because we wear a T-shirt, because we go to a Christian music festival, because we lift our hands when we sing.

We are not hot Christians, and God hates that.
I am so burdened right now because God has put on my heart this truth.
We are doing every thing wrong.
love this girly.
