We like to think that all churches are pleasing to God, but that’s not true… at least it wasn’t in late first-century Laodicea. The church had become lukewarm, tepid, neutral and ineffective. Jesus used some of his harshest language to describe the church when he said he was going to “spit them out of his mouth.” How does a lukewarm church turn things around? How do lukewarm people take a stand?
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
