"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"
- revelations 3:15-16

what a great past few days. the alpha w/end was an awesome time of fellowship - and the last talk we had was so spirit-filled that it was completely draining from the excitement. a few peoples gave themselves to christ that day, and a couple were just blasted by the spirit and received their respective gifts! man - good times. i was really moved that afternoon, but needed more energy for 180 at nite (180 is the 'young adults' fellowship on sat nites). bob in all his infinite and timely sense of humor surprised me when he called me on the spot to do a testimony. w/out prepping - i was like.. 'duh?'... so i just let the spirit guide me - and the first words that came out were the ones i ran with. ended up being a testimony of me n derek. the power of prayer and patience. b/c i really had no idea what i was gonna say, and pretty much wat i was saying that whole time - i just felt so overwhelmed. god reminded me at that time what it meant to trust in him, but also to have a burden for the lost. the spirit also hit me at that time - all the emotion from nites of heartfelt prayer with groups from indo, hk, and LA. and the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the lord will raise him up. and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another that you may be healed." - james 5-15-16.

derek followed that up with a truly powerful talk on sharing the gospel. he really challenged the group - to live on fire for god 24/7. be on fire - be hot. god says be hot or cold, but not lukewarm. there ain't no such thing as a halfway christian. last nite, i had dinner with kelvin - my friend and bible study leader from indonesia. he said the same thing. he told me the one thing he can't stand is the contented christian, the w/end christian. god says he 'vomits' out the lukewarm. no kidding. it such a bad testimony to only 'live' as a christian on sunday, tell the world u'r a christian, and then go and party out and live unedifying lives the rest of the week. it's sad (i'm guilty too :( , so i also accepted his challenge ). anyway - i know many that nite were touched and received the challenge, so i'm looking forward to seeing the fruits from that!
