Wake up!

Friends, we need to wake up!  The bible warned us of how the end times would be and if you read through Revelation, we surely see what the world is looking like today.  I was at a meeting at church yesterday where someone asked about a very touchy topic in the world today.  It was talked about how we are to love everyone, showing them God’s grace and how we are not the ultimate judge.  While these things are true, I was really bugged by the reply. 

Revelation 3:15-16

I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!  So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

While we are certainly called to show others God’s grace, we are also called to take a stance as we have been taught according to God’s word.  We are not to be lukewarm or wishy-washy.  The church should be taking a stance to help lead others to Christ, not merely accepting that the world has changed and it’s all okay for everyone to live as they wish.  If someone wants to be part of the world rather than part of the Kingdom, then that is their choice however as Christians, we are called to be set apart.
