Lukewarm people give money to charity and to the church....as long as it doesn't impinge on their standard of living. If they have a little extra and it is easy and safe to give, they do so. After all, God loves a cheerful giver, right?

God never excuses sin. And He is always consistent with that ethic. Whenever we start to question whether God really hates sin, we have only to think of the cross, where His Son was tortured, mocked, and beaten because of sin. Our sin

...I don't have to worry about not meeting His expectations. God will ensure my success in accordance with His plan, not mine.

If I have a script, I tend to stick to it even if God may be leading me elsewhere in the moment.

The disciples obey because that's what people do when someone rises from the dead and gives instructions.

He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a 'Christian' without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.

Lukewarm living and claiming Christ's name simultaneously is utterly disgusting to God.
