Luke warm?

Either you are for Christ or against him...

I am frustrated by people who claim to be Christians.  I would rather you tell me you  are an Atheist than to say " I'm not downing Jesus or anything, I mean I go to church."  Really, Really????  If you are not defending Him then you are downing Him.  If you are not courageous to stand up for what the Lord says and the good news he has for all then why do you even bother to show up for church?  Do you just show up so people will see you there and think you are a good person?

Revelation 3:15-16 ESV 

“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.

James 1:22 ESV 

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.


Just a reminder... Christ does not live in the church.  The church is a building where believers meet to fellowship and corporately worship Christ.  Christ lives in you!

Romans 8:9 ESV 

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

Church is not just Sunday and Wednesday.  Church is every day of your life.  It is a constant communication, a relationship with the Father.  The veil was torn in the Tabernacle the day Jesus died on the cross.  You have the opportunity to be in fellowship with the Father every minute of every day. Why would you not take advantage of that?

Here is my challenge to you... Be full of Christ, Be for Christ in every situation, Do not be afraid of the world because you do not live in  the world, you live in Christ and His Spirit dwells within you.

Matthew 6:19-21(NIV)

19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
