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

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

“Lukewarm people don't really want to be saved from their sin; they want only to be saved from the penalty of their sin.”

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

“Lukewarm people do not live by faith; their lives are structured so they never have to. They don't have to trust God if something unexpected happens- they have their savings account. They don't need God to help them- they have their retirement plan in place. They don't genuinely seek out what life God would have them live- they have life figured and mapped out. They don't depend on God on a daily basis- their refrigerators are full and, for the most part, they are in good health. The truth is, their lives wouldn't look much different if they suddenly stopped believing in God.”

“All my life I've heard people say, 'God loves you.' It's probably the most insane statement you could make to say that the eternal Creator of this universe is in love with me. There is a response that ought to take place in believers, a crazy reaction to that love. Do you really understand what God has done for you? If so, why is response so lukewarm?”

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