Contrast

These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or other! So, because you are lukewarm -neither hot or cold- I am about to spit you out of my mouth. (Revelations 3:14b-16)

Today God has affirmed and solidified something that has been in my heart for a long time. This passage has driven my choices. It has built me to refuse middle ground. No longer can I live as a pretender of the faith. I choose to live with passion. I ask that of everyone who reads this. Please, don't settle for partial faith in Christ, believe or don't believe. Follow what your heart tells you.

Anything in between a passionate believer and a passionate unbeliever is a waste of time. It's a waste of YOUR time. Why would anyone ever waste their time by partially following? Hours spent at church could be used more productively if the lessons taught there aren't applied.

Choose your side, take time to consider what you are jumping into, and when you have made your choice don't let anything stop you... including yourself.
