The Church in Laodicea: The Lukewarm Church (Revelation 3:14-22)

Most of us think we're doing fine spiritually. Sure, we could do better, but we're doing alright. In Revelation 3:14-22, Jesus writes to a church that felt exactly the same way — and tells them they are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. This is the most severe of the seven letters. And the most personal. Because the danger Jesus is diagnosing isn't outright rebellion. It's the comfortable, self-sufficient Christianity that mistakes familiarity with God for intimacy with him.
