The State Of Being Lukewarm

Let us muse today from Revelation 3:17 and the church at Laodicea. One of the marks of a lukewarm Christian is that he is independent rather than dependent. There is a great trust in what they possess of self and not a dependency of what Christ provides in Himself. Jesus says, ‘you say with your life that you are rich, increased with goods, and have need of nothing‘. Is this not the state of most churches in America? Jesus says, ‘you are not aware of the fact that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.’ We think we have it all and in our Lord’s eyes we have nothing and are in desperate need of everything.
