Spiritually Dormant
You may have noticed the new design, tell me what you think.
However, that is not what I am going to talk about today. When attending youth group and bible studies I get the impression that many of the kids are spiritually dead. They are dormant. From what I have seen there is something seriously wrong with that picture. When once Christians (or claim to be, only God knows each persons heart) cease to grow, cease to produce fruit, it troubles me greatly. I see this more and more in "Christian" teenagers who attend church, or pronounce themselves to be Christian. "So, because you are lukewarm–neither hot nor cold–I am about to spit you out of my mouth." (Rev 3:16) As I this scripture points out, God will spit out anything that is lukewarm, anything that is neither hot nor cold for the Lord. Anything that believes that Jesus is this world's Savior and Lord, yet somehow have not done anything about it. This is exactly where I see many people in the church today.
Is this where we want to be?
