Life On The Edge

We need to live our lives on the edge. No I dont mean to become adrenaline junkies or live on the edge of danger, such as drugs, and sex. I mean we have to live on the edge of falling off the worlds map. As Christians we are suppoposed to be shamless for Christ.
In one of his episitles, Paul says it is a blessing to be ridiuculed. A Blessing. Why are we so afraid to be true wairriors for Christ? Because we have a fear of ridicule. But Paul says it is a blessing. If that is the case then why are we afraid? Because we believe we should be neutral and complacent.
Neutralty is a CURSE to the Christian faith.

15I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

This verse is scary. Scary. God is saying that he will Spit us out of his mouth because we are lukewarm. If we are complacent and neutral God will spit us out of his mout. How can this not be scary?

Of course you might say that this only applies to the Church of Laodicea, yes it does. But it also appies today. Each letter to each church is a stage in the church now. This letter to Laodicea is now. The church is becoming neutral and complacent.

I love reading about thjose fire and brimstone preachers. They got people scared and fired up. We dont need fear we need to be fired up. We need more of those people.
