FIRED UP - WEEK 6, DAY 2 Week 6: We Need Sincerity in Jesus Christ Day 2: Nominal Christianity Leads to Spiritual Drowsiness “I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which are about to die” (Rev. 3:1-2). When churches are full of people who are Christians in name only (i.e. nominal Christianity), it results in spiritual drowsiness. Jesus had to tell the disciples in Sardis to “wake up.” Moreover, spiritual drowsiness often leads to moral laxity which ends in spiritual dirtiness (i.e. soiled garments, cf. 3:4) and eventually spiritual death. What a sad story! Christians raised from death to life, yet some go from life back into death. Let’s not let this happen to us. Let’s commit to being genuine, active followers of Jesus! Watch and pray, nor let us ever weary; / Jesus watched and prayed alone; / Prayed for us when only stars beheld Him, / While on Olive’s brow they shone. / Watch and pray, the Lord commandeth; / Watch and pray, ‘twill not be long. / Soon He’ll gather home His loved ones, / To the happy vale of song.
