What is a lukewarm

mind?

“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and

neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I

need nothing,

Revelation 3:15-18

not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold

refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may

see.’”

Revelation 3:15-18

Today you will see that in order to honor God with your mind, You

have to put Him at the center of it.
