Casual Christianity

Have you ever heard the phrase, "they are a casual Christian" or "they are a carnal Christian"?  I bet you have.  I have as well. But, interestingly, there is no where in Scripture where this is shown in a positive lite.  This type of life is actually depicted of a person lost or having gone so far off the path they are indistinguishable from the world.  Join with us now as we engaged the lost truth about being a causal Christian.

The two sections of used in this episode are both from Revelation 3.  The first church is  the example of being a casual Christian.  The second is the church the LORD JESUS commends.  Now, which are you?

Grace and peace to all who are in CHRIST JESUS the LORD!

14      “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this:
15      ‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot.
16      ‘So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.
17      ‘Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked,
18      I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.
19      ‘Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.
20      ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.
21      ‘He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22      ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’ ”

(Revelation 3:14–22)



7      “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:
He who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says this:
8      ‘I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
9      ‘Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you.
10      ‘Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole eworld, to test those who dwell on the earth.
11      ‘I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
12      ‘He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name.
13      ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

(Revelation 3:7–13)
