Are you on fire for God or surviving on a spiritual flicker? That's the burning question at the heart of this soul-stirring episode that confronts the deadly deception of lukewarm faith.
The dangerous middle ground between hot obedience and cold rebellion isn't just disappointing to God—it's offensive. Drawing from Revelation 3:15-16, we explore why Jesus would rather us be completely cold than tepid in our faith. This lukewarm existence looks spiritual on the surface while masking a heart that loves comfort more than Christ, and it's far more common in our churches than many want to admit.
Through unflinching biblical truth, we identify the telltale signs of lukewarmness: prioritizing God only when convenient, justifying private compromises, believing in forgiveness without practicing repentance, and building a life around worldly success while squeezing Jesus into the margins. These patterns don't just lead to an underwhelming faith—they potentially lead to eternal separation from God.
The most chilling warning comes from Matthew 7:21-23, where Jesus declares to many religious people: "I never knew you." These aren't atheists He's addressing, but people who claimed His name, performed religious duties, and appeared spiritual while never truly surrendering. In these last days, as prophesied in Scripture, this spiritual lukewarmness becomes even more dangerous as believers compromise truth for comfort, setting themselves up for great deception.
But there's hope for the half-hearted! We outline practical steps to break free from spiritual numbness and reignite your relationship with Christ: honest repentance, returning to your first love for Jesus, pursuing holiness with urgency, saturating yourself in Scripture daily, and surrounding yourself with believers who refuse to settle.
This isn't about religious performance—it's about authentic transformation. Ready to move beyond lukewarm living? Let today be the day your soul wakes up and your spiritual fire burns bright once more.

00:00:00.882 --> 00:00:03.750
The world is changing and time is running out.
00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:12.390
This is Renewed Mindsets, where we confront Biblical truth head-on no sugarcoating, no compromise.
00:00:12.390 --> 00:00:28.669
We expose false doctrine, reveal fulfilled prophecy and shine light on the demonic deception of these last days, but we also stand firm on the hope of Christ's return, the call to holiness and the urgency of true salvation.
00:00:28.669 --> 00:00:34.432
It's time to renew your mind, for the time is now.
00:00:34.432 --> 00:00:37.085
Let's go, boys.
00:00:37.085 --> 00:00:48.610
Hey, I'm Rick and I'm so glad you're here.
00:00:48.610 --> 00:00:51.606
Let's cut through the noise.
00:00:51.606 --> 00:00:51.906
Today.
00:00:51.906 --> 00:00:54.468
This is not about attendance.
00:00:54.468 --> 00:00:56.747
It's not about denominations.
00:00:56.747 --> 00:01:01.853
It's not about how well you sing or how many verses you've got memorized.
00:01:01.853 --> 00:01:04.468
This is about fire.
00:01:04.468 --> 00:01:09.843
Are you on fire for God or are you just surviving on a flicker?
00:01:09.843 --> 00:01:14.090
Because Jesus didn't warn sinners in Revelation 3.
00:01:14.090 --> 00:01:15.774
He warned the church.
00:01:15.774 --> 00:01:18.465
He warned the ones who thought they were fine.
00:01:18.465 --> 00:01:34.727
And today, if you feel like your faith has gotten stale, if you're just going through the motions, if your love for God has cooled off and your lifestyle blends in more than it stands out, then this episode was written for you.
00:01:34.727 --> 00:01:41.533
This is Renewed Mindsets and this message might just save your soul.
00:01:41.533 --> 00:01:47.349
So let me start off with some scripture today.
00:01:47.349 --> 00:01:50.009
This is kind of a foundation of this whole episode.
00:01:50.009 --> 00:01:54.251
First we got Revelation 3, 15, and 16.
00:01:54.251 --> 00:01:58.971
I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold.
00:01:58.971 --> 00:02:07.341
I wish that you were one or the other, but since you are like lukewarm water neither hot nor cold I will spit you out of my mouth.
00:02:07.341 --> 00:02:11.806
The next is from Matthew 15, 8 and 9.
00:02:11.806 --> 00:02:13.366
There you go.
00:02:13.407 --> 00:02:15.207
So what exactly is a lukewarm Christian?
00:02:15.207 --> 00:02:32.701
Well, it's somebody whose heart has settled into comfort.
00:02:32.701 --> 00:02:37.210
They believe in God, but their belief doesn't transform them.
00:02:37.210 --> 00:02:49.355
They pray when it's convenient, they read scripture when they need something.
00:02:49.355 --> 00:02:50.240
They call Jesus Savior, but not Lord.
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:56.687
Lukewarm believers are caught in the dangerous middle ground between hot obedience and cold rebellion.
00:02:56.687 --> 00:02:59.372
They have enough religion to feel secure, but not enough fire to be surrendered.
00:02:59.372 --> 00:03:07.313
They're spiritually neutral, and neutrality has never been the posture of a true disciple.
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.670
In Revelation 3, jesus said he'd rather somebody be cold than lukewarm.
00:03:12.670 --> 00:03:15.187
That should stop us in our tracks.
00:03:15.187 --> 00:03:23.467
Cold is disconnected, it's distant, unaware, but lukewarm is deceived.
00:03:23.467 --> 00:03:27.689
Lukewarm says I'm fine, I have all I need.
00:03:27.689 --> 00:03:30.461
God is good, but so am I.
00:03:30.461 --> 00:03:39.061
Jesus sees that and he says you don't even realize that you're wretched, poor, blind and naked.
00:03:40.723 --> 00:03:42.945
Lukewarmness is not passive.
00:03:42.945 --> 00:03:49.816
It's offensive to God because it takes the blood of Jesus and treats it like an accessory.
00:03:49.816 --> 00:03:53.710
It claims grace but it resists all change.
00:03:53.710 --> 00:04:04.282
Lukewarm Christianity is deceptive because it looks spiritual on the outside, but underneath it's weak, it's compromised and it's self-serving.
00:04:04.282 --> 00:04:10.348
It thrives on people who appear to follow Jesus but live with divided hearts, but underneath it's weak, it's compromised and it's self-serving.
00:04:10.348 --> 00:04:12.248
It thrives on people who appear to follow Jesus but live with divided hearts.
00:04:12.269 --> 00:04:12.789
Now here's how it shows up.
00:04:12.789 --> 00:04:18.913
Those people they prioritize God when it's convenient, but not when it conflicts with their comfort.
00:04:18.913 --> 00:04:32.079
Like they pray at meals and they post scripture on social media, but they skip church when they're tired or bored or have something better to do.
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:35.882
Those people also avoid major sins, but they justify their private compromises.
00:04:35.882 --> 00:04:41.130
I mean, they're not going to steal or murder, but they're going to binge watch some filth on TV.
00:04:41.130 --> 00:04:43.173
They're going to flirt with sin.
00:04:43.173 --> 00:04:48.848
They're going to gossip in the name of prayer and call it just being real.
00:04:48.848 --> 00:04:51.415
Yeah, you know people like that Might be you.
00:04:52.699 --> 00:04:56.968
Those people believe in forgiveness, but they rarely, rarely walk in repentance.
00:04:56.968 --> 00:05:05.331
They say things like nobody's perfect as a cover for repeating the same sin, without ever truly turning from it.
00:05:05.331 --> 00:05:12.452
Those people like the idea of heaven, but they live like the world is their prize.
00:05:12.452 --> 00:05:23.309
They build their entire life around their career, their goals, their image, and they just squeeze Jesus into the margins like a hobby.
00:05:23.309 --> 00:05:28.019
Those people say Jesus is Lord, but they don't surrender their decisions to him, and they just squeeze Jesus into the margins like a hobby.
00:05:28.019 --> 00:05:31.204
Those people say Jesus is Lord, but they don't surrender their decisions to him.
00:05:31.204 --> 00:05:40.449
They make choices, life-altering choices like dating, marriage, finances, parenting, entertainment, without ever asking what pleases God.
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:48.764
Lukewarm believers say that they love the Lord, but they date unbelievers because it's hard to find a good Christian guy.
00:05:48.764 --> 00:05:53.194
They wear crosses around their necks but not on their backs.
00:05:53.194 --> 00:06:00.273
They serve when there's recognition, they give when it's tax deductible.
00:06:00.273 --> 00:06:06.252
They worship when the atmosphere feels right, but there's no daily dying to self.
00:06:06.252 --> 00:06:08.607
They've got no hunger for holiness.
00:06:08.607 --> 00:06:11.249
They've got no tears of repentance.
00:06:11.249 --> 00:06:26.232
Jesus says in Matthew 7.16, if there's no fruit, there's no fire, and if there's no fire, there's no abiding presence of God.
00:06:26.232 --> 00:06:35.473
Lukewarm believers have gotten just close enough to Jesus to feel spiritual, but they stayed just far enough to remain in control.
00:06:35.473 --> 00:06:41.848
And that middle ground, that ain't safe, it's deadly.
00:06:41.848 --> 00:06:45.995
Yeah, I'm going to stop sugarcoating it for y'all's benefit.
00:06:46.980 --> 00:06:57.663
Lukewarm Christianity leads to death, not just emotional exhaustion, not just spiritual dryness, but eternal separation from God.
00:06:57.663 --> 00:07:03.831
This is not a game, this is not a minor flaw in somebody's faith walk.
00:07:03.831 --> 00:07:08.137
This is spiritual deception with eternal consequences.
00:07:08.137 --> 00:07:10.720
Jesus wasn't vague in his warning.
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.709
He said in Revelation 3.16,.
00:07:13.709 --> 00:07:26.004
That's not poetry, people, it's not symbolic, that is judgment.
00:07:27.459 --> 00:07:33.333
Lukewarm believers do not just miss out on blessings, they miss heaven if they don't repent.
00:07:33.333 --> 00:07:40.565
We have grown so soft in this Americanized church that this truth makes people uncomfortable.
00:07:40.565 --> 00:07:42.487
Comfortable, but it should.
00:07:42.487 --> 00:07:48.774
Eternity is real and Jesus made it clear.
00:07:48.774 --> 00:07:52.882
Calling him Lord is not the same as living like he is.
00:07:52.882 --> 00:07:58.211
Look at his words in Matthew 7, 21 through 23.
00:07:59.312 --> 00:08:03.447
Not everyone who calls out to me, lord, lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven.
00:08:03.447 --> 00:08:09.189
Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter On judgment day.
00:08:09.189 --> 00:08:17.571
Many will say to me Lord, lord, we prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and perform many miracles in your name.
00:08:17.571 --> 00:08:20.862
But I will reply I never knew you.
00:08:20.862 --> 00:08:24.725
Get away from me, you who break God's laws.
00:08:24.725 --> 00:08:27.627
Those aren't atheists.
00:08:27.627 --> 00:08:46.610
They're people who claim his name, who knew the language, who looked the part, but they never surrendered, they never repented, they never obeyed, they were lukewarm, and Jesus says it plainly I never knew you.
00:08:46.610 --> 00:08:52.542
That should terrify us into transformation.
00:08:52.562 --> 00:08:55.725
What's it look like when somebody lives lukewarm and never repents?
00:08:55.725 --> 00:08:59.089
It's a man who goes to church every Sunday.
00:08:59.089 --> 00:09:03.653
He raises his hands in worship, but he cheats on his taxes.
00:09:03.653 --> 00:09:06.015
He watches porn at night.
00:09:06.015 --> 00:09:14.340
He never confronts his addiction because God understands.
00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:19.940
It looks like a woman who sings in the choir but never forgives the people who hurt her because she thinks her worship cancels out the bitterness.
00:09:19.940 --> 00:09:30.633
It looks like a young adult who reads a devotional on Instagram every morning but sleeps with her boyfriend every night, convinced that grace means they're still covered.
00:09:30.633 --> 00:09:34.168
This people is not repentance.
00:09:34.168 --> 00:09:38.089
This is rebellion dressed in religious clothing.
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.711
Hebrews 10, 26, and 27 says it even more directly.
00:09:43.711 --> 00:09:53.490
Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we've received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins.
00:09:53.490 --> 00:10:00.890
There's only the terrible expectation of God's judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies.
00:10:00.890 --> 00:10:04.168
This is not about perfection.
00:10:04.168 --> 00:10:06.345
This is about direction.
00:10:06.345 --> 00:10:11.845
Are you chasing righteousness or are you making excuses for compromise?
00:10:11.845 --> 00:10:13.708
Because here's the reality.
00:10:14.490 --> 00:10:16.721
Lukewarm Christians blend in with the culture.
00:10:16.721 --> 00:10:20.970
They speak Christianese, but their hearts remain unchanged.
00:10:20.970 --> 00:10:27.042
They avoid the deep cost of following Jesus because they still want control of their own life.
00:10:27.042 --> 00:10:33.033
They serve God when it benefits them, but they bow out when it requires suffering.
00:10:33.033 --> 00:10:40.894
Lukewarmness is a refusal to die to self, and the gospel requires that death.
00:10:40.894 --> 00:10:46.229
Galatians 2.20 says my old self has been crucified with Christ.
00:10:46.229 --> 00:10:50.427
It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.
00:10:50.427 --> 00:11:03.926
If you're still calling the shots, if you're still defending your sin, if you're still clinging to comfort, then you're not living crucified, you're living lukewarm and you are in danger.
00:11:03.926 --> 00:11:10.508
Because when Christ returns, he's not coming for lukewarm people who had good intentions.
00:11:10.508 --> 00:11:15.869
He's coming for the people who were sealed, surrendered and burning with holy fire.
00:11:17.552 --> 00:11:22.924
Lukewarm Christianity leads to destruction because it mocks the sacrifice of Christ.
00:11:22.924 --> 00:11:33.312
Imagine standing before the throne of God and realizing that you sang about him, you talked about him, you even believed in him, but you never, ever surrendered to him.
00:11:33.312 --> 00:11:43.182
You spent your whole life near the fire, but you never let it consume you, you never let it refine you, you never let it cost you.
00:11:43.182 --> 00:11:50.258
Luke warmness will give you church attendance and moral behavior, but it will not give you eternal life.
00:11:50.258 --> 00:11:57.379
Only a new heart, a surrendered will and a spirit-filled life is going to do that.
00:11:57.379 --> 00:12:01.754
So the question is not do you go to church?
00:12:01.754 --> 00:12:09.212
The question is do you know him, Does he know you, and does your life bear fruit?
00:12:09.212 --> 00:12:10.076
That proves it.
00:12:12.186 --> 00:12:21.455
If lukewarmness is the temperature of your soul, it's time to repent, because where it leads is not life.
00:12:21.455 --> 00:12:24.514
It leads to being cast out.
00:12:24.514 --> 00:12:35.188
It leads to hearing the most terrifying words ever spoken I never knew you, I can barely say them.
00:12:35.188 --> 00:12:36.831
But you don't have to stay there.
00:12:36.831 --> 00:12:39.836
You can come back to the fire.
00:12:39.836 --> 00:12:47.193
You can lay down your life again, you can be fully his before it's too late Now.
00:12:47.193 --> 00:12:50.139
It's not just today this time.
00:12:51.004 --> 00:12:59.974
Lukewarm Christianity has always been a threat, but in the last days, the days that we're living in, it becomes a weapon of mass deception.
00:12:59.974 --> 00:13:06.331
The spirit of lukewarmness isn't just laziness, it's a spiritual cancer.
00:13:06.331 --> 00:13:18.578
And in the end times where the lines between truth and lies are already blurred, lukewarm faith becomes a breeding ground for compromise and spiritual collapse.
00:13:18.578 --> 00:13:25.932
Jesus warned us in Matthew 24, 12, sin will be rampant everywhere and the love of many will grow cold.
00:13:25.932 --> 00:13:32.441
This is happening now, not just in the world, but inside the church.
00:13:32.441 --> 00:13:35.533
People are losing their fire.
00:13:35.533 --> 00:13:38.133
They're trading holiness for popularity.
00:13:38.133 --> 00:13:41.153
They're trading truth for tolerance.
00:13:41.153 --> 00:13:45.956
They're trading the Word of God for emotional TED Talks labeled as sermons.
00:13:45.956 --> 00:13:48.272
And it's no accident.
00:13:48.272 --> 00:13:56.515
2 Timothy 4, 3 and 4 says a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching.
00:13:56.515 --> 00:14:02.586
They will follow their own desires and look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.
00:14:02.586 --> 00:14:05.913
They will reject the truth and chase after myths.
00:14:05.913 --> 00:14:08.356
That time is here.
00:14:08.356 --> 00:14:10.120
That time is right now.
00:14:11.565 --> 00:14:13.692
Lukewarm believers don't want the narrow road.
00:14:13.692 --> 00:14:20.317
They want the comfortable one, with soft seats, with low standards, no confrontation.
00:14:20.317 --> 00:14:27.914
They say things like well, god knows my heart as an excuse to willful sin.
00:14:27.914 --> 00:14:31.431
They say well, who are you to judge?
00:14:31.431 --> 00:14:33.856
To defend rebellion?
00:14:33.856 --> 00:14:41.217
They say we all sin every day as a license to never change.
00:14:41.217 --> 00:14:44.634
They say, well, that's just legalism.
00:14:44.634 --> 00:14:56.779
Anytime you preach holiness, they say I'm spiritual but not religious, while walking in zero biblical submission.
00:14:56.779 --> 00:15:02.096
In the end times, that mindset is deadly.
00:15:03.785 --> 00:15:09.274
When persecution rises, lukewarm Christians are going to bow to the culture.
00:15:09.274 --> 00:15:12.365
They will edit their convictions.
00:15:12.365 --> 00:15:14.169
They'll compromise the gospel.
00:15:14.169 --> 00:15:22.235
They'll take the mark, not because they hate God, but because their love was never real in the first place.
00:15:22.235 --> 00:15:26.309
Jesus said in Matthew 10, 22,.
00:15:26.309 --> 00:15:33.125
All nations will hate you because you're my followers, but everyone who endures to the end will be saved.
00:15:33.125 --> 00:15:42.155
That means only those who endure, only those who stand firm in truth will be saved.
00:15:42.155 --> 00:15:47.596
Let me show you how lukewarmness is already affecting the church today.
00:15:47.596 --> 00:15:52.365
Let me show you how lukewarmness is already affecting the church today.
00:15:52.365 --> 00:15:58.725
Churches are hosting drag queen story hours in the name of inclusion.
00:15:58.725 --> 00:16:01.268
Worship leaders are living openly in sin while leading people in song.
00:16:01.268 --> 00:16:05.817
Pastors avoid entire sections of scripture so they don't offend tithers.
00:16:05.817 --> 00:16:13.563
Christians support abortion under the guise of women's rights.
00:16:13.563 --> 00:16:17.524
Believers post more about celebrities and politics than they do Jesus.
00:16:17.524 --> 00:16:20.673
Parents let their kids dabble in demonic content and then wonder why anxiety rules their homes.
00:16:20.673 --> 00:16:24.956
That is not fire, that's compromise.
00:16:24.956 --> 00:16:29.855
And the scary part is many of them still believe they're right with God.
00:16:29.855 --> 00:16:34.311
Revelation 3.17 is playing out right in front of us.
00:16:34.311 --> 00:16:47.474
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.
00:16:47.474 --> 00:17:08.173
Lukewarmness in the end times is not just a weakness, it's a trap, a setup for delusion, a wide open door for the antichrist spirit to walk right into the sanctuary, because when you're numb the fire, you invite the counterfeit.
00:17:08.173 --> 00:17:21.060
2 Thessalonians, 2, 10 and 11 says he will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.
00:17:21.060 --> 00:17:26.616
So God will cause them to be greatly deceived and they will believe these lies.
00:17:26.616 --> 00:17:32.166
If you're not burning with truth, you are vulnerable to deception.
00:17:32.166 --> 00:17:33.970
There's no neutral ground.
00:17:33.970 --> 00:17:37.717
The world is preparing for false peace.
00:17:37.717 --> 00:17:47.854
Watch the news the church is being sifted, the remnant is rising and lukewarm Christians are sleepwalking straight into judgment.
00:17:47.854 --> 00:17:52.940
This, what I'm saying, is not fear-mongering.
00:17:52.940 --> 00:17:56.247
This is Scripture.
00:17:56.247 --> 00:17:58.570
Now is not the time to soften your stance.
00:17:58.570 --> 00:18:01.575
Now is not the time to coast through faith.
00:18:01.575 --> 00:18:04.578
Now is not the time to flirt with sin.
00:18:04.578 --> 00:18:09.509
Now is the time to wake up and burn.
00:18:09.509 --> 00:18:10.691
So what can you do?
00:18:10.691 --> 00:18:19.113
How can you escape this life of lukewarmness and live full, fully alive?
00:18:19.113 --> 00:18:22.557
Lukewarmness doesn't die quietly.
00:18:22.557 --> 00:18:24.144
It fights to stay.
00:18:24.144 --> 00:18:35.121
It hides behind your routines, religion, pride, convincing you that you're not that bad, while your fire quickly, quietly fades.
00:18:35.121 --> 00:18:44.796
But the good news is this you don't have to stay lukewarm, you don't have to stay numb and tired and cold or indifferent.
00:18:44.796 --> 00:18:46.992
You can be set on fire again.
00:18:46.992 --> 00:18:49.148
But I got to be clear.
00:18:49.148 --> 00:18:51.885
You can't drift your way into holiness.
00:18:51.885 --> 00:18:56.035
You can't casually wander back into intimacy with God.
00:18:56.035 --> 00:19:00.729
This is war, people, and you need to fight for your fire.
00:19:00.729 --> 00:19:07.991
Here's how you break free from lukewarmness and return to a life that actually burns with the presence of God.
00:19:07.991 --> 00:19:10.617
You need to repent.
00:19:10.617 --> 00:19:16.217
You need to repent honestly and immediately.
00:19:16.217 --> 00:19:23.298
Not just I'm sorry, but a breaking, a turning, a surrender.
00:19:23.298 --> 00:19:25.509
Tell God the truth.
00:19:25.509 --> 00:19:28.036
God, I have grown cold, I've been lazy.
00:19:28.036 --> 00:19:28.500
I've toler grown cold.
00:19:28.500 --> 00:19:29.125
I've been lazy.
00:19:29.125 --> 00:19:30.730
I've tolerated sin.
00:19:30.730 --> 00:19:31.794
I've made excuses.
00:19:31.794 --> 00:19:35.686
I want to be changed Acts 3.19,.
00:19:35.686 --> 00:19:42.933
Repent and then turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.
00:19:42.933 --> 00:19:46.773
Real repentance births a revival.
00:19:46.773 --> 00:19:51.474
Fake repentance only creates more religious activity.
00:19:51.474 --> 00:19:54.471
Don't try to manage your lukewarmness.
00:19:54.471 --> 00:19:55.555
You need to kill it.
00:19:55.555 --> 00:19:59.794
Return to your first love.
00:19:59.794 --> 00:20:04.055
Do you remember what it felt like when Jesus first captured your heart?
00:20:04.055 --> 00:20:10.231
When you prayed because you wanted him, not because you needed something, when worship wasn't a show but an overflow.
00:20:10.231 --> 00:20:15.609
When you prayed because you wanted him, not because you needed something, when worship wasn't a show but an overflow.
00:20:15.609 --> 00:20:22.027
Revelations chapter 2, 4 and 5 says I have this complaint against you.
00:20:22.027 --> 00:20:24.673
You don't love me or each other like you did at first.
00:20:24.673 --> 00:20:27.097
Look how far you've fallen.
00:20:27.097 --> 00:20:32.731
Turn back to me and do the works that you did at first.
00:20:32.731 --> 00:20:33.474
Look how far you've fallen.
00:20:33.474 --> 00:20:35.444
Turn back to me and do the works that you did at first.
00:20:35.444 --> 00:20:39.944
You don't need new theology.
00:20:39.944 --> 00:20:40.506
You don't need a fresh love.
00:20:40.506 --> 00:20:41.385
You need to fall in love with Jesus again.
00:20:41.385 --> 00:20:45.248
Start spending time with him like he's a person, not a program.
00:20:45.248 --> 00:20:51.858
Wake up and talk to him Fast, something that dulls your spirit.
00:20:51.858 --> 00:20:55.338
Stop scrolling and open your Bible.
00:20:55.338 --> 00:20:58.778
Open a journal and write out your prayers.
00:20:58.778 --> 00:21:00.775
Don't just study about him.
00:21:00.775 --> 00:21:01.959
Sit with him.
00:21:01.959 --> 00:21:07.381
You need to pursue holiness with urgency.
00:21:07.381 --> 00:21:13.213
Lukewarm Christians treat sin like a pet On fire.
00:21:13.213 --> 00:21:15.042
Christians treat sin like a pet On fire.
00:21:15.042 --> 00:21:16.210
Christians treat sin like poison.
00:21:16.210 --> 00:21:20.320
If you want to be free, you've got to walk in the fear of the Lord again.
00:00:00.882 --> 00:00:03.750
00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:12.390
00:00:12.390 --> 00:00:28.669
00:00:28.669 --> 00:00:34.432
00:00:34.432 --> 00:00:37.085
00:00:37.085 --> 00:00:48.610
00:00:48.610 --> 00:00:51.606
00:00:51.606 --> 00:00:51.906
00:00:51.906 --> 00:00:54.468
00:00:54.468 --> 00:00:56.747
00:00:56.747 --> 00:01:01.853
00:01:01.853 --> 00:01:04.468
00:01:04.468 --> 00:01:09.843
00:01:09.843 --> 00:01:14.090
00:01:14.090 --> 00:01:15.774
00:01:15.774 --> 00:01:18.465
00:01:18.465 --> 00:01:34.727
00:01:34.727 --> 00:01:41.533
00:01:41.533 --> 00:01:47.349
00:01:47.349 --> 00:01:50.009
00:01:50.009 --> 00:01:54.251
00:01:54.251 --> 00:01:58.971
00:01:58.971 --> 00:02:07.341
00:02:07.341 --> 00:02:11.806
00:02:11.806 --> 00:02:13.366
00:02:13.407 --> 00:02:15.207
00:02:15.207 --> 00:02:32.701
00:02:32.701 --> 00:02:37.210
00:02:37.210 --> 00:02:49.355
00:02:49.355 --> 00:02:50.240
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:56.687
00:02:56.687 --> 00:02:59.372
00:02:59.372 --> 00:03:07.313
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.670
00:03:12.670 --> 00:03:15.187
00:03:15.187 --> 00:03:23.467
00:03:23.467 --> 00:03:27.689
00:03:27.689 --> 00:03:30.461
00:03:30.461 --> 00:03:39.061
00:03:40.723 --> 00:03:42.945
00:03:42.945 --> 00:03:49.816
00:03:49.816 --> 00:03:53.710
00:03:53.710 --> 00:04:04.282
00:04:04.282 --> 00:04:10.348
00:04:10.348 --> 00:04:12.248
00:04:12.269 --> 00:04:12.789
00:04:12.789 --> 00:04:18.913
00:04:18.913 --> 00:04:32.079
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:35.882
00:04:35.882 --> 00:04:41.130
00:04:41.130 --> 00:04:43.173
00:04:43.173 --> 00:04:48.848
00:04:48.848 --> 00:04:51.415
00:04:52.699 --> 00:04:56.968
00:04:56.968 --> 00:05:05.331
00:05:05.331 --> 00:05:12.452
00:05:12.452 --> 00:05:23.309
00:05:23.309 --> 00:05:28.019
00:05:28.019 --> 00:05:31.204
00:05:31.204 --> 00:05:40.449
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:48.764
00:05:48.764 --> 00:05:53.194
00:05:53.194 --> 00:06:00.273
00:06:00.273 --> 00:06:06.252
00:06:06.252 --> 00:06:08.607
00:06:08.607 --> 00:06:11.249
00:06:11.249 --> 00:06:26.232
00:06:26.232 --> 00:06:35.473
00:06:35.473 --> 00:06:41.848
00:06:41.848 --> 00:06:45.995
00:06:46.980 --> 00:06:57.663
00:06:57.663 --> 00:07:03.831
00:07:03.831 --> 00:07:08.137
00:07:08.137 --> 00:07:10.720
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.709
00:07:13.709 --> 00:07:26.004

00:08:17.571 --> 00:08:20.862
00:08:20.862 --> 00:08:24.725
00:08:24.725 --> 00:08:27.627
