Laodicea

"Would that you were either cold or hot!" Jesus' words to the church in Laodicea cut at our attempts to act out the Christian faith without a zeal for Christ. Jesus-who is and always has been the true and faithful witness-rejects that kind of "Christianity" and the "Christians" that practice it. We must examine our hearts to see if we have that zeal for Jesus or if we are living for our own morality or prosperity. Am I trying to live self-sufficiently without Jesus? Am I trying to live for merely my own prosperity? Do the things that I seek success in really matter? Am I lukewarm?
