hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth,” Jesus warned.5 The human spirit becomes lukewarm when it has not recently been exposed to the white-hot presence of the living God. It becomes lethargic, anemic, and bored. A lukewarm heart breeds listless worship, casual commitment, and duplicitous obedience. Fortunately God does not give up on the lukewarm. Instead He offers us a cure: a fresh encounter with the blazing presence of the risen Christ. In fact, He invites us to welcome His presence.
