Go All in for Christ

Because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. (Revelation 3:16)
 
It saddens me that many believers just sit back and say, “I like the information.” They just sit there like bumps on a log. They hear the Word of God, and they identify themselves as disciples of Christ. They don't apply the Word of God to their lives. They live just like the Laodicean Church. The Laodicean Church age is the last church age that happens. This church is lukewarm. Jesus says, “Because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.” (Revelation 3:16) This is a description of our culture today.  
 
Have you noticed that there are a lot of bystanders who are not committed to doing anything? They are just learning new spiritual factoids. God wants you to fully identify yourself with Him. We need to take a step to be all in; either be all in or be all out!  
 
Actually, I respect people who are atheists and agnostics. At least, they are being honest with who they are. They are completely wrong, but at least they are honest!  
 
Many believers are not all in. They are not all in with their body or with their heart. They are not all in financially. Instead, they are bystanders who love to watch, read, and study. God wants more for us than just to be bystanders. God wants us to study His Word and watch the fulfillment of Scripture happen firsthand. He wants us to be all in with our lives to serve Christ. 
 
Are you all in for Christ? Or are you more like a bystander? If the latter is true, I pray that you would ask the Lord to reignite your fire and your passion for Him. As you grow in your relationship with Him and live out your faith, others will see the love of Christ through you!

When I first went to church as a 5 year old, the first thing I learned is that Jesus loves me. I wanted to know more about Him. And I always couldn't wait until I was old enough to teach other kids about that love. Only, it wasn't until I was 43 years old that I gave my whole life to Christ. I have been all in ever since. I did have about 10 years where I was satisfied to hear all the information, but God wasn't done with me yet. I like being involved in a church that wants to reach out to unbelievers

That's right , and also we should remember that: "There is a time for everything, a time to work

and a time to rest.
