Lukewarm Feels so Good

UPDATED ;
It's all about not being offensive today.We dont' want to offend the wicked with the truth.
That's the religion message of Christianity today which leads not to life eternal but to death. Watered down ,compromised sells so much better and the crowds help pay the bills much better than a few hot souls.
Lukewarm ,It feels so good and it dosn't offend anyone and everyone love's you.
The reality of God as Creator and Law Giver is offensive to the evolutionist and the athiest and most of the inhabitants on this planet.
Lukewarm is the place most Christians inhabit ,It's very comfortable and acceptable to this present evil world system and it's oh so easy and a much smoother ride.
Those who truly serve God will always be labled as extremists by this world ,tolerant of every evil but intolerant towards the way, the truth and the life.
We want the world to accept and love us and to serve God at the same time.
This is the deadly leaven of the apostate church which makes them the enemy of God.

Those who warn the lukewarm of their precarious condition are often considered bitter fruit,troublemakers,offensive,false,mean,unloving by them.

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Revelation 3:16
So many Christians are fearful of offending the lost with the truth of the gospel that they have chose the lukewarm approach.
The compromised church is stuck in the middle,not a good place to be but it is comfortable,feel good and full of love, the shallow,phony religious kind .
The words Jesus spoke to the masses were received by many who heard them as sweet unto life.
Others who heard the same words wanted to kill Him unto death.
The gospel of Jesus Christ brings either life or death and the same goes for us today.
Some will receive unto life ,others reject unto death.
Your words will be considered sweet by some and bitter to others.
Unless we have God given discernment we will be seduced by the feigned love gospel of false unity which compromises the hard message of Jesus into an easy wide gospel which makes everyone feel oh so good as they follow the false teachers to eternal damnation feeling oh so good
It's about following the truth however hard the message might be to our stubborn heart's ,not feeling good.
The chuch has replace the truth with a 'feel good' sell to the world.
Jesus said He would either break us (humble our proud, stubborn hearts) or grind us to powder(destroy us).
His words bring life or death,sweet or bitter,there is no middle ground.

And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Luke 20:18

...And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren. And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him. And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land. So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake. And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria. 2 Kings 2
Elisha brough life to some,death to others.
The majority of Christian's today would reject Elisha and His God choosing a more lukewarm,loving approach and a less hot God.
And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell. He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
Luke 10
Even a merciful and loving Messiah told His disciples to wipe off the dust of a city which rejected them as a witness against them.
Not a loving thing to do ,even bitter fruit to some feel good Christian's today
Today we Christian's don't seem to be against anything and for everything and everyone. Watered down,saltless and of no use to the Master. Just full of phony love.
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Luke 10

People what is the point to your salvation if your not willing to give your all to the Lord?
What is the point to your salvation if your heart does not yearn to be with Him?
What is the point to your salvation if you love the world more than you love God?
He said "I would that you be hot or cold, if you are luke warm, I will spew you out of my mouth"
"He that loves the world, the Love of God is not in him"
"You cannot love money and love God"
Strive to be on fire for God people, flee from any who would tell you other wise...Amen..
