THE DAY I STOPPED BEING A LUKEWARM CHRISTIAN

Standing in my office

Staring at the phone

My hands shaking

My spirit breaking

The text from my wife:

"I can't do church anymore"

Hit me like Goliath's sword

See, I'd been playing both sides:

• Sunday warrior

• Weekday coward

• Bible on shelf

• Porn on phone

"Because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth"

- Revelation 3:16 KJV

That verse haunted me

But I ignored it

Until that text

That night

On my knees

First real prayer in years:

"Lord, I'm done playing"

His response?

Thunder?

Lightning?

Angels?

No.

Just quiet truth:

"If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily"

- Luke 9:23 KJV

Simple command

Hard truth

Clear choice

That night I:

• Deleted apps

• Burned bridges

• Chose sides

My wife's response?

Tears

But not of sadness

Of recognition

She saw a man

Finally becoming

What God ordained

Truth:

Half-surrender

Is full rebellion

Your marriage

Your children

Your legacy

Hang on this

Choose:

• Hot or cold

• Light or darkness

• God or world

No middle ground

No compromise

No excuses

"As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD"

- Joshua 24:15 KJV

Your move.
