Revelation 3:
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.
My wife just said something I found profound: Christ can work with people who are willing to make mistakes.
If we spend our lives sitting comfortably in Church, following repeated instructions to go home teaching, pray as families, and crack open the scriptures every couple days, are we cold? Hot? Lukewarm? What if we're willing to say, "I think the Lord asked me to _____. I guess I'll try it out, er... experiment on the word ... and see what it brings me."
