Are you Lukewarm?

I wrote this when I was suppose to be sleeping for clinicals, but I couldn’t I felt this is what God would rather have me write, cause the last one was only tearing them down and God has been telling me edify… edify…. There is too much put downs and we need encouragement…
With what has happened this last week, there has been a lot of talk.

Crown we have become lukewarm Christians! We are neither hot nor cold and God will soon spit us out if we do not do something to change. The events of the past week have shown me that there is a lack of integrity in our walks, and please understand that I am just as much to blame as the next guy. So when you read this don’t be thinking about the log that I need to take out my own eye, I am asking Crown to help each other, help me, and help yourselves to take the crap out of our eyes so that we can see Christ. The sins of the flesh are not what I am talking about, for the simple fact that when we focus on Christ all worldly things will lose their glory and fade away as that focus becomes more constant. So Crown what I am talking about here is our walk with Christ. Our walks have strayed from the narrow path that leads to life, it has strayed to the “wide is the gate, and broad is the way” of destruction and that has already happened for a couple of us. Not saying that getting kicked out of Crown means your going to Hell, but it has destroyed so much that some have tried to build up. So what are we doing Crown? Let’s take heart and, “since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” (Hebrews 12:1-3) The directions are clear but just to make sure we don’t miss the point let me give you one more example of why fixing our eyes on Jesus is the most important; Peter walks on water. But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."
"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water."
"Come," he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?”
“I'm not trying to be a nuisance I just think we can do better than this That was simply my two cents You can, you can take it or leave it.”
