Particular belief in the particular truth—Hot or Cold?

Temperature of Commitment - Profile

Jesus rebukes the Laodicean church for spiritual complacency.

The terms "cold" and "hot" represent clarity of commitment—either openly against or fully for Christ. "Lukewarm" suggests indifference or hypocrisy—claiming faith but lacking zeal or genuine devotion. The strong image of being "spued out" (vomited) expresses how displeasing this spiritual state is to the Lord.

“I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.”

~ C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis taught that giving should be generous and sacrificial, service should be humble and genuine, and commitment to the Church is both necessary and spiritually formative. For Lewis, giving was a matter of the heart, trust in God, and love for others.

Anything Particular On Your Mind—Just Ask

Ask Questions, Make Remarks, Expect Responses - Form

“What would you say to someone who isn’t sure what they believe, but doesn’t want to close the door on the idea of God?”

Mark 9:24 - “Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.”
A desperate father admits he has both belief and doubt, and Jesus responds with compassion.“That reminds me of the man who asked Jesus to help his unbelief — sounds like it’s okay to start with uncertainty.”

Anything Particular On Your Heart—Request In Prayer

Lord, In Your Mercy Prayer Request - Form

Live with Christ’s love, listen for needs, gently offer prayer, keep it simple, follow up, and be present wherever God places you.

From a biblical perspective, reaching out for prayer requests beyond church walls into secular society involves living out Christ’s call to “go ye into all the world” (Mark 16:15, KJV) while remaining gentle, respectful, and Spirit-led. Be present in everyday spaces—markets, parks, workplaces, events, and online.

“Gird with truth, guard with righteousness, go with the gospel, shield with faith, secure with salvation, and strike with the Spirit.”

The Armor of God is a spiritual defense given to believers so they can stand firm against Satan’s schemes. Paul teaches that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil. Prayer is the final, constant action that keeps every piece effective, enabling perseverance and watchfulness.

Self-Check

Three short but powerful questions for self-reflection.

1. If someone looked at your life this week, would they see you living for Jesus?

Matthew 5:16
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
James 2:18
"Shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works."

2. What’s holding you back from being fully committed to Him?

Luke 9:23
"If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me."
Hebrews 12:1
"Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us."

3. If Jesus came back today, would you be ready to meet Him face to face?

Matthew 24:44
"Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh."
2 Corinthians 5:10
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."
