Today, I contemplate the lesson of Laodicea,
One of the seven cities of Revelation.
You found the people of that metropolis lacking,
Not because they were evil,
But because they were not good.
Lukewarm, you called them.
Is that the problem with me?
Am I neither hot nor cold?
Lord, show me how to be on fire for you
And yet not alienate those
I would seek to show your love.
Let me not be tepid.
