I hope you heard the morning news today. The winning word in the national spelling bee was "Laodicean!"
How is that for God again trying to make a point to people!
The newsperson that I heard said that the word meant lukewarm and had religious connotations.
I'll say it has spiritual connotations! It has belief connotations! In Revelation 3:14-21, Jesus dictates a letter for John to write to the church at Laodicea. In that chilling letter, he makes the point that he really cannot abide their lukewarm behavior. They are neither cold nor hot, and Jesus says he will spit them out.
That of course is an apt description of large numbers of modern churches today. Not recognizing the power or reality of the Gospel, not even recognizing the truth of the Word, they exist - neither cold nor hot. They are lukewarm, and Jesus says He will spit them out.
Prepare for the spitting. It is beginning.
