Lukewarm is a curse

After Revelation 3:14-22 

Being lukewarm is a curse,

neither burning with purpose

and resolve nor iced with

indifference and smugness.

Lukewarm is useless. I spit

you out, you who believe

you are self-sufficient, that

you have prospered by

your own hand. The reality

is you are pitiful, poor, blind,

and naked. I spit you out,

again. Put salve on your eyes

so that you might see. Accept

the gold I offer that you might

be rich. Take the white robes

I have to clothe 

your nakedness.

Be zealous.

Repent.
