YOU MIGHT BE A LUKEWARM CHRISTIAN IF.......


If you care more about what people think than what God thinks.
If you only communicate with God when there is some emergency.
If you and your life are not much different from the unbelieving world.
If you think more about your life on earth than about heaven and eternity.
If you do whatever it takes to alleviate guilt, from asking for God’s forgiveness -
- without genuine repentance - to denial and blame and even religious exercises.
If you want salvation from the penalty of sin but not from the power of your sins.
If you want Christ’s benefits and blessing without conforming to Jesus' character.
If you gage your spiritual condition by doing comparisons of yourself with others.
If you do not have the joy of the Lord because you do not spend time with Him.
If you are a full-time minister and a part-time Jesus follower. OUCH!


When making the above list, I must say thank you to Pastor Craig Groeschel and Pastor Francis Chan for their inspiring preaching that moved me to face my own lukewarmness. May the Lord use these throughts to draw you closer to the center of His will for your precious life.
