Yeti makes amazing coolers and mugs that keep things cold (or hot) for a really long time. Their products are impressive…but this one seems a little weird! No knock on Yeti, but it seems ironic that a cooler company would make a product that is designed to hold water at normal room temperature. It is a high-quality dog bowl, but the water will definitely be lukewarm.
In Revelation 3:15-17, Jesus describes the church at Laodicea this way: “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” This church got lazy spiritually and stayed comfortable where they were instead of looking for ways to grow and improve, and in so many ways this church pictures modern Christianity. It’s easy to look at the godless world around us with disgust, but when’s the last time we were grossed out by our own lack of passion for God?
Verse 17 describes how they became so lukewarm place: “Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.” It’s so easy to get into our “comfort zone” and cruise through life, oblivious to our own spiritual need. We often notice the cold but get lulled to sleep by comfort. But that’s when we become lukewarm. Instead of doing things that disgust God, let’s allow Him to show us anywhere we’ve grown too comfortable or apathetic, any areas we need to change to be on fire for Him spiritually.
