The church of Laodecia
that is the church of today–
lovers of recreation
lovers of more stuff.
Kill the babies
silence our elders
hide our true feelings
cover it up with drugs.
We act like we’re religious
but we’re neither hot
nor ice cold.
we can’t make a quality decision
for the Christ
or they’ll call us a nut.
We listen to false teachers
we’re swayed by every new teaching
don’t we know there is nothing new, under the sun??
We exchange our families for more money
a bigger paycheck at the end of the month
we send our children down the street
to be raised by the adulteress woman
watching soaps in her hut!
And all because we need more stuff!
a bigger house
a bigger car
designer clothes
a dooney and burke bag
hey, we need to look good for our journey into eternity
as God vomits us out of His mouth!
Church!
Wake-up!
(c)shari mcgriff 2006Revelation 3: 15-22 15 “I know all the things you do, that you are
neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other!16 But
since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit
you out of my mouth!17 You say, `I am rich. I have everything I
want. I don’t need a thing!’ And you don’t realize that you are
wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.18 So I advise
you to buy gold from me—gold that has been purified by fire. Then
you will be rich. Also buy white garments from me so you will not be
shamed by your nakedness, and ointment for your eyes so you will be
able to see.19 I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be
diligent and turn from your indifference.
20 “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and
open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as
friends.21 Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne,
just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne.
22 “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and
understand what he is saying to the churches.”
