Episode notes
Lukewarm Faith's Nauseating Effect
- Lukewarm Christians know Jesus loves them but aren't transformed or moved by it.
- Their faith is intellectual, not heartfelt, and Jesus nauseates such lukewarmness.
Wealth Masks Spiritual Poverty
- Laodiceans believed themselves rich and self-sufficient but Jesus called them wretched, poor, blind and naked.
- Their wealth and pride blinded them to spiritual poverty and need for God.
Affluence Breeds Spiritual Lukewarmness
- Affluence leads to spiritual lukewarmness because it breeds self-sufficiency and less dependence on God.
- In comfort, gratitude and zeal for Jesus fade; faith becomes routine, not transformational.
