The Lukewarm Church

14 “And to the1 angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, a‘These things says the Amen, bthe Faithful and True Witness, cthe Beginning of the creation of God:  
15 a“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.  
16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither1 cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.  
17 Because you say, a‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—  
18 I counsel you ato buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and bwhite 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.  
19 aAs many as I love, I rebuke and bchasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

Revelation 3:16

Revelation 3:15 I know thy works. The same statement has been made of all the churches, but in all the others there has been something to praise. Thou art neither cold nor hot. Neither acting hostile to Christ, nor zealous for Him. I would thou wert cold or hot. Christ would rather that men should be opposers than formal, apathetic professors.
