“Lukewarm people call 'radical' what Jesus expected of all His followers.”

“Jesus didn't say that if you wanted to follow Him you could do it in a lukewarm manner. He said, 'Take up your cross and follow Me.”

“What scares me most are people who are lukewarm and just don't care.”

“Lukewarm people gauge their morality or 'goodness' by comparing themselves to the secular world. They feel satisfied that while they aren't as hard-core for Jesus as so-and-so, they are nowhere as horrible as the guy down the street.”

“Lukewarm people love others but do not seek to love others as much as they love themselves.”

“Lukewarm people think about life on earth much more often than eternity in heaven.”

“He is saying that lukewarm, halfhearted following is useless, that it sickens our souls. He is saying that this kind of salt is not even fit 'for the manure pile.' [Luke 14:34-35]”
