10 SIGNS YOU ARE a Chair Two Christians

Crazy Love by Francis Chan.  In chapter 4 there is a list of the 10 signs you might be lukewarm (half hearted about being Christian).
  1. Lukewarm people attend church regularly, because that’s what good Christians do.
  2. Lukewarm people give money to charity and church…as long as it is safe and easy to do so.
  3. Lukewarm people tend to choose what is popular over what it right in a conflict.
  4. Lukewarm people don’t really want to be saved from their sin; they want only to be saved from the penalty of their sin.
  5. Lukewarm people are moved by stories about people who do radical things for Christ, yet they do not act.
  6. Lukewarm people rarely share their faith with their neighbors, coworkers or friends.
  7. Lukewarm people gauge their morality or “goodness” by comparing themselves to the secular world.
  8. Lukewarm people say they love Jesus, and He is, indeed, a part of their lives.  But only a part.
  9. Lukewarm people love God, but they do not love Him with all their heart, soul and strength.
  10. Lukewarm people love others, but do not seek to love others as much as they love themselves.
Chan writes, “We are all messed-up human beings, and no one is totally immune to the behaviors described in the previous examples. However, there is a difference between a life that is characterized by these sorts of mentalities and habits and a life that is in the process of being radically transformed...Jesus didn’t say that if you wanted to follow Him you could do it in a lukewarm manner. He said, ‘Take up your cross and follow me.’” (Chan, page 80).What is on your list of what it means to be lukewarm?
