‘Tis better to be hot than cold, it’s true.

To be on fire for God is good for you.

But even worse than cold is just lukewarm.

Unfortunately, this is now the norm.

 

In Revelation 3 and verse fifteen

Through seventeen we learn what Jesus means

To be lukewarm. It’s leaving Him on the

Outside, and living one’s life separately.

​

Believing, but ignoring Him some go

About their business, rushing to and fro.

Such confidence they have in their own worth.

They have all that they need here on this earth.                 

 

Or so they think, but what about when they

Get caught up in life’s snares. Well then, they pray.

But that’s ok. He’s waiting patiently.

Just seek Him and He’ll answer lovingly.

 

But knowest not that thou are wretched, poor,

And blind and naked. He waits at the door

And knocks. Verse twenty tells us if we hear

His voice and answer, then He will draw near.

 

All powerful, Almighty God is He.

And yet we all mean more to Him than we

Can even comprehend. If we could see

How much He loves us, then how blessed we’d be.

 

And so, without Him we are lost as sheep

Without a Shepherd. By ourselves we’ll reap

Life’s hardships. So ‘tis better to be hot

Than cold, or worse, lukewarm. Ignore Him not.
