What’s Your Temperature?
LISTEN
“And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.”
—Matthew 24:12
If you’re not feeling well, one of the first things your doctor
typically does is take your  temperature. Why? Because your temperature
indicates the state of your health.
In the same way, your spiritual temperature indicates your spiritual
health. The Bible gives us  only three categories: icy cold, miserably
lukewarm, or burning hot.
First, there’s icy cold. Jesus said of the end times, “And because
lawlessness will abound, the  love of many will grow cold” (Matthew
24:12 NKJV). This is basically someone who has a heart like  stone. It
would describe nonbelievers who have no interest in the things of God.
They just don’t  care.
Next, there’s miserably lukewarm. Believe it or not, this spiritual
temperature is actually more  offensive to Jesus than icy cold, which
seems surprising. To the lukewarm church of Laodicea He  said, “I know
your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were
cold or hot. So  then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor
hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth”  (Revelation 3:15–16 NKJV).
Those of us who drink coffee like it hot or iced. The same goes for
tea. I also like milk hot or  cold. But do any of us like these things
lukewarm? Probably not. So here’s what Jesus was saying:  “Lukewarmness
makes me want to throw up.”
The final category is burning hot, and that’s the spiritual temperature
we all should want to be.  Describing their conversation with Jesus on
the road to Emmaus, the disciples said, “Did not our  heart burn within
us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the
Scriptures to  us?” (Luke 24:32 NKJV).
What’s your spiritual temperature right now?
