So I gave a sermon on Sunday. The MP3 is coming to a neigborhood near soon.
My sermon was entlilted The Edge.......not living a lukewarm faith walk.
As I was reading for a small group the other day I came across an excerpt from Frangois Fenelon article.
Those who fear to see too cleary what this love asks fool themselves by thinking that they have this watchful and devoted love. There is only one way to love God: to take not a single step without him, and to follow with a brave heart wherever he leads.
All those who live the Christian life, and yet would very much like to keep a little in with the world, run great risk of being among the lukewarm of whom it is said they will be "spewed out of the mouth of God."
God has little patience with thise weak souls who say to themselves, "I shall go this far and no farther." Is it up to the creature to make the law for his Creator? What would a king say of a subject, or a mastor of a servant, who only sered him in his own way, who feared to care too much for his interest, and who was embarrassed in public because of belonging to him? What will the King of Kings say to us if we act like these cowardly servants?
