Chapter 4 Profile of the Lukewarm

Chapter 4 Profile of the Lukewarm
"So there is an incalculable, fautless, eternal God who loves the frail beings He made with a crazy kind of love. Even though we could die at any moment and generally think our puny lives are pretty sweet compared to loving Him, He persists in loving us with unending, outrageous love."
Are we sold out for God? Do we always assume we are the good soil? Jesus wasnt interested in those who fake it. "Speakers dont use Jesus' tactic to eleminate people who are not sincere seekers." Do you find this to be true or not? To those without the Holy Spirit we sometimes sound like we are talking in parables. We want God and... we dont want just God. There are stipulations we put in our lives so we dont give God complete control over every part of who we are. How do we interact with the world. How would our lives be different if we suddenly stopped believing in Christ? Would our lives look any different? There has to be a heart change. Lukewarm people do not live by faith. They structure their lives so they never have to. Are you living by faith or by sight? Here's the thing; if we are living by sight, what happens when we become surrounded by darkness? How do we know where to go? We should recognize our lives as God's own and not ours. What are we going to do with what God has given us? Put it on a shelf or use it????
