From the Preacher’s Pen: It’s Cold Outside

sketch6It got cold outside this past week! I got an email from a preacher friend in Edna, TX (down south), who told me they got between 1” and 2” of snow a couple of days ago! Snow in south Texas?

The grass is going dormant, and the leaves have just about all given up the ghost, and it certainly is not my favorite time of the year! Oh well, knowing North Texas, it will probably be in the 70’s on Christmas day.

The cool weather reminded me of Revelation 3:15-16, “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish that you were either cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth.”

I’m not saying that our Lord likes the cold, but He at least prefers it to lukewarm Christians!
