Vomit

Back from a little hiatus - so...re-freshed learnings for me from The Revelation of Jesus Christ  chapter 3. The Laodician church arrests me, causing me to pause and take stock of my "temperature."  So in the vain of "you might be a redneck if..." here are a few things to ponder from Francis Chan's "Crazy Love:"

You might be a Lukewarm Christian if:
- You choose what is popular over what is right
- You give money to charity as long as it doesn't impinge on your standard of living
- You don't want to be saved from you sin, but from the penalty of your sin
- You rarely share your faith with your friends, co-workers or neighbors
- You are moved by stories about people who do radical things, but do not act
- You guage your morality or goodness according to secular standards
- You Love God, but not with all your heart, soul and strength
- You love others but do not seek to love others as much as you love yourself
- You serve others but with limits on how far you'll go with your time, energy and money
- You think about life on earth more than eternity in heaven
- You do whatever is necessary to keep yourself from feeling guilty
- You continually play it safe being slaves to the god (little g) of control
- You probably drink less and swear less than the average person but aren't really very different from the typical unbeliever

And the one that pierces me the deepest - You do NOT live by faith, structuring your lives so you never have to!

Food for thought - not for the faint of heart.  Thanks and blessings to each of our Promiseland Volunteers for joining me and our families in our faith journeys. I pray your time with God is rich this week and that your love for Him flows to the precious ones in your care.
