Revelation 3:14-22 (NKJV)
“And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,
‘These things says the Amen,
the Faithful and True Witness,
the Beginning of the creation of God:
“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot.
I wish you were cold or hot.
So then, because you are lukewarm,
and neither cold nor hot,
I will vomit you out of My mouth.
Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy,
and have need of nothing’
– and do not know that you are wretched,
miserable, poor, blind, and naked –
I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in fire,
that you may be rich;
and white garments, that you may be clothed,
that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed;
and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten.
Therefore be zealous and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears My voice and opens the door,
I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
To him who overcomes I will grant to sit
with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and
“He who has an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Revelation 3:20 (NKJV)
Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears My voice and opens the door,
I will come in to him and dine with him,
and he with Me.
Where in our lives are we neither cold nor hot?
Where are we stuck in the trap of quicksand?
Joshua 24:14-15 (NLT)
“So fear the Lord and serve him wholeheartedly.
Put away forever the idols your ancestors worshiped
when they lived beyond the Euphrates River
and in Egypt. Serve the Lord alone.
But if you refuse to serve the Lord,
then choose today whom you will serve.
Would you prefer the gods your ancestors
served beyond the Euphrates?
Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in
whose land you now live?
But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”
