Is There a Hope for the Overconfident Church of Laodicea - Part1

When we say lukewarm church its not to be interpreted as not so evil and not so good because people might think that we want to be lukewarm which is not so good and not so bad. Most people think that it would be a better choice but, it is evil. It’s not about being good or evil. The church of Laodicea has become indifferent. Their over confidence resulted to their being lukewarm. It is interesting to take note of their background. The city of Laodicea is a wealthy city, wealthy in the sense that there is a banking system or commerce, branded clothing like Versace and other brands, well known in the medical field for the eyes. Their popularity spread out. As a result, it affected the church. It should be the church should infect the world but one way or another, the world infects the church. The church should be a model of righteousness. Now, they are cousins of this world. That’s why Jesus says to them “you are lukewarm.”
