...lukewarm

So we went to the homeless shelter today for AIM Bossier. And while I know there are indeed people who are where they are because of the simple fact that life sucks, so many people are there because of a severe case of apathy. They could very easily go out and get a job, and while they don't go out and sabotage their chances of getting one, they also don't go out and look actively for a job. This can apply to us spiritually so much. We stay in our own "Jesus Bubble". Thinking that: hey, it's good enough that I myself am saved, if no one else is then well there are missionaries for that sort of thing. The point of it is though, that you might be the only "Jesus" that, that person ever sees.

You have the world, the secret to it's mysteries all within. But you don't let it out. You know the answer to pain and suffering in the chronicles of your mind. But you close it up tight. You know that you were called to be set apart, a light in this dark dying world. But you hide your light with a bushel; afraid at the snide remarks of the lost. So what shall you say when that day comes and you have to explain yourself? How shall you explain yourself in that case? For your excuses don't work with the one who made the rules himself. Perhaps it would be better for you to be totally cold and unknowing, than to know and not share the truth.

"I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth!" -Revelation 3:15-16
