Luke Warm

Luke warm drinks are so second rate. They are just so dissatisfying, especially knowing that thatdrink could be so cold and thirst queching or so warm and comforting. Sometimes out of desperation or just acceptance we decide to drink the luke warm drink.

It's just like that in our lives, we live for the luke warm. We become the luke warm and never experience the very temperature we were supposed to live at. Recently i was invited to a debate addressing the issue of "Sexual Diversity within Christianity". A hot topic, according to many, but in my mind a very simple issue.

I sat there in the presence of some very educated people, with degrees, collors, and so called wealth of knowledge and experience. Amongst these people where high ranking church officials, inclduing a bishop and a homosexual minister. each of us had chnace to spend some time with our audience group, putting over or own point of view around the subject matter, which was the followed by a debate in front of a live audience.

The panel consisited on the bishop, the homosexual minister and a lady who was a buddist monk, o yes and me. It was all very ammicable and a bit nicey nicey, until the very credibility and relevanc eof the Bible was called into question and the role of homosexuality with Christianity was questioned.

if you want to know my view points on these things, come and ask me, but i am sure you can gather my stand point. But for me the saddest thing of the entire day, was the very prominant taste of luke warm faith. It saddend me to listen to the very compromising, so called politically correct, tollerant answers which were given.

Men of the cloth, publically declaring that the Bible is irrelevant and should not be taken literally thats luke warm.
Lets be clear, The Bible is God's word, Jesus is His son, rleationship is the key to knowing him, not theology. The temperature is rising all around us, lines are being drawn in the sand, the question is which sid eof the line are you going to be.

Stop messing about with Jesus. He wants you to have everything he inttended you to have. Wake up, this is not a game, people's lives depend on it......and your's to. Head knowledge is great, but it needs to become heart knowledge.

Have a great day.
