We say to the Creator of all this magnitude and majesty, โWell, Iโm not sure You are worth itโฆ. You see, I really like my car, or my little sin habit, or my money, and Iโm really not sure I want to give them up, even if it means I get You.โ
Francis ChanPeople accuse me of going overboard preparing for my first ten million years in eternity; in my opinion, people go overboard in worrying about their last ten on earth.
Francis ChanLukewarm people give money to charity and to the church...so long as it doesn't impinge on their standard of living. Lukewarm people tend to choose what is popular over what is right. Lukewarm people don't really want to be saved from their sin; they want to be saved from the penalty of their sin. Lukewarm people rarely share their faith with their neighbors, coworkers, or friends. Lukewarm people are thankful for their luxuries and comforts, and rarely consider trying to give as much as possible to the poor.
