127. lukewarmness

Mella gave us a Gospel message tonight which was fresh and invigorating.The Black and White sermon.
From Genesis to Revelation, God has made very specific differences:
day and night
men and women
trees are individual with their own seeds
lilies and thorns
strangers and pilgrims in the earth
worldliness and the children of God
yea and nay
God and mammon
Mat 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon

Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.



And to wrap up with a quote from Mikes essay, see his comment on Post.122.....on E=mc2


Although modern man still intuitively knows God, the Father of Lights, one wonders if he is willing and/or able to take the time to appreciate the interconnectedness, the unity that is God’s essence and His bond to all of good creation. This unity is critical, for it is precisely in a lack of effort to understand this relationship, a lukewarmness, that man fails to recognize his God-given responsibility as steward of the created world. This failure harkens back to our fallen human nature and it leads to a gradual recoloring of both faith and created matter using halftones, shadows of gray—relativity evolving into relativism. Man is blinded by the alluring lights of science, technology and the subconscious light bulb that fuels his imagination. Today more than ever, he needs to be open to the rays of True Light emanating from the Sun of Man, for only in this Light is there Truth and the promise of eternal life.
