I am going to vomit you out of My mouth!
(James Smith, "Daily Bible Readings for the Lord's Household")
"I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were either cold--or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold--I am going to vomit you out of My mouth!" Revelation 3:15-16
The Lord Jesus hates lukewarmness! He would rather we made no profession of religion at all--than to profess--and then not practice His precepts!
He loves to see His people zealous--and it is a shame to us, when we are dull and lifeless in His ways.
It is to be feared, that many professors do not realize that their 'indifference' is a sin! They think that having professed Christ, if they just attend to a few religious duties, and creep along in a certain religious course--that this is enough. They are never hot--and they do not really like to see others on fire for the Lord.
Professor of religion, Jesus says, "Be hot--or be cold!"
Be altogether a Christian--OR throw off your vain profession!
Do not wear the Christian name--only to dishonor it!
Professing Christian--are you hot, or cold--or lukewarm?
