n 2/22/23 4 HIM beat the fartsack and came out to the GritMil. Focker, Ruxpin, Woodstock & MacDaddy.
Welcome to F3, if you weren’t here, where would you be. In the fartsack you say? No way, because this is a free peer led workout with no place to pee. Yes, it’s a poor man’s workout, we are not paid, we are not pros, but we are certainly bros. You are here on your own accord, no matter how tight that EH was. When the going gets tough, don’t quit, let’s keep it going, modify it. We never leave a man behind, but keep in mind, we broke, so you can’t sue me or F3. Now that this is said and done, we are ready to warm up with…. The Moroccan Night Club.

The book of Revelation is the last book of the new testament, in the Greek it is called apokalypsis, meaning “unveiling” or “revelation”. This is the revelation of Jesus Christ. Jesus is speaking to John and offers comfort and encouragement to Christians of all ages that God is firmly in control. He also addresses that when the time is right, the forces of evil that seem to dominate our world will be utterly destroyed, and God’s eternal kingdom will come into its fulfillment. Jesus, described as the Lamb, the One like a Son of Man dictates seven messages for John to send to the seven churches in Asia Minor. Each message praises the church community for its strengths and urges community members to correct their weaknesses.
Revelation 3:14-22 reads,
“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Origin of the creation of God, says this:
‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. The one who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat with My Father on His throne. The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
This was Jesus addressing the church in Laodicea because they were LukeWarm. They understood this analogy because their drinking water came through a channel from a spring six miles to the south, and when it arrived, it was disgustingly lukewarm. The water they received was not like the water at the hot springs where it originated, where people used to wash in etc.., nor was it cold for the purpose of drinking. Being hot and cold is useful, and will benefit the Kingdom of God. But, being LukeWarm is useless and benefits nothing. Jesus says to them, be zealous (passionate) and repent.
In 2013, a man created a fake company and sent fake invoices to Google, claiming Google owed an outstanding balance. Because the invoices were many and overwhelming, Google decided it was easier to pay the bills and not investigate the bills. The man swindled Google out of 100 million dollars. Later, the man was caught and he pled guilty to fraud. He was pretending to be someone who he was not, just like the Laodicean Church. They too were frauds.
If we are living a lukewarm life, then we are living in a “gray world”. We are simply existing with no purpose. We need to step up and be useful, we need to paint or get off the ladder. A life without God is not a life at all, it’s just us idling in time until we die. So, let’s get out of this gray area and step into a strong relationship with Christ and avoid being a man just “existing” in this world.
Let me leave you with this for us to examine ourselves: The signs of a lukewarm Christian is that:
· God is only a source to escape from the penalty of sin, but they still love living in their sin.
· They attend church and worship God as a religious activity, but their actions do not show the fruits of a transformed life.
· There is no evidence of fruit in their life.
· They don’t enjoy praying or spending time in the presence of God and glorifying Him in everything they do.
· They don’t share their faith, or have a burden for the lost.
· Their eyes are set on the things of this world.
· They don’t have much time for God, there’s always an excuse.
· No one even knows that they are followers of Christ.
· and so on…
