Again, the church of the Laodicean’s seemed to be indifferent and unmoved in the things concerning Christ. The word indifferent means unbiased, as saying, “it does not matter one way or another,”or, “it’s of no importance or value one way or the other.” It also means to be marked by apathy, a lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern for some thing. Now, in order to help us understand how the Laodicean’s lukewarmness possibly came to be we are still looking to Paul’s epistle to the Colossians. Why, because of …
His Word Is Life
(1 Timothy 4:13)…..Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
(Hebrews 4:12)…..For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The words of God recorded in the Bible are containers. They contain ideas from God. They contain life. When those words enter us through our eyes, ears, or our thinking, they impart life and faith.…
#47 – The Lukewarm Church
(Revelation 3:15-17)…..15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot.

He Will Lead Into All Truth!
(John 16:12-13)….. “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. “Into all truth” in verse thirteen is translated “into the full truth” or “to the complete truth” in other Bible translations. At the very end of His earthly ministry, Jesus told His …
Religious And Lost!
(Romans 2:17-29)…..17 Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God, 18 and know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law, 19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and truth in the law. 21 You, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? …
A New Covenant
(Hebrews 8:13)…..In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away. The part of the Bible we call the Old Testament is not exactly the same as the Old Covenant, nor is the part of the Bible we call the New Testament exactly the same as the New Covenant. The Old Covenant was an agreement between God and the children of Israel. We have the record of it in the Old Testament. The New …

He Doesn’t Change – Rejoice
(Philippians 4:4)….Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! At least five times the Bible tells the people of God to rejoice in the Lord. We may not be not find ourselves wanting to do so, because of something going on in our life at the time. We may not even want to rejoice because we change all the time (Meaning we change due to the emotions we are experiencing moment to moment). But the Lord is different! God is dependable! God is faithful. God is honest. God …
