Good morning and welcome, may this post find you well, and may my Lord and Saviour richly bless you today. My post today is about...well being committed to something or someone.
I heard of a well that was said to be very good, except that it had two faults; it would freeze up in the winter, and it would dry up in the summer. A most extraordinary well, but I am afraid there are many wells like it! There are many people who are good at certain times; as some one has expressed it, they seem to be good "in spots." What we want is to be red-hot for "Christ" all the time. People talk about striking while the iron is hot. Cromwell said that he would rather strike the iron and make it hot. - Anecdotes, Incidents and Illustrations.
Lukewarm, wishy-washy, non-committal these are a couple of terms used to describe someone's stance on an idea or belief. In this time of election campaigning we hear these terms a lot. But they can also be applied to your Christian life. If there was ever an area of your life you needed to be sure where you stand and then stand firm; it is your relationship with Christ Jesus. Look at what the Lord had to say to the church in Laodicea ~ 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth. Revelation 3: 15-16
