This is the Lutheran Hour Ministries (LHM) May 11, 2024 devotional.
My footnote to the section: “The Letter to Laodicea” – Revelation 3: 14-22 reads: “The church at Laodicea was even in worse shape spiritually than the church at Sardis, because nothing positive was said to its members at all. Their spiritual lukewarmness made the Lord want to vomit (vv 15-16). Their well-to-do status, materially, had blinded them to their utter spiritual destitution (vv 17-18). The Lord had been pushed to the outside of this congregation and was now seeking to reenter (v. 20) through their repentance (v. 19). What the devil or false doctrine does not accomplish in the church, self-centered materialism often will.”
Thanks brother Clif for sharing.
