Here's a thought: churches are going to be hot in Heaven or cold in Heaven.

I bet you didn't think there would be places in Heaven you would want to go, did you!

I think Hot Churches more easily become Cold, than Cold Churches become Hot.

My reasoning is that "lawlessness" causes people's love to be cold.

What's interesting for me, is that like snow flakes, there are infinite ways of being cold.

It's not like a Cold Church is running out of ways to be cold, just because it is cold.

I'm hoping that every Church gets hotter or colder.

But I'm going to focus on my Church getting extremely cold!

If you can't predict that a church will be hot or cold, it seems reasonable to say you could do with more faith?

The thing is to develop a consistent prediction, based on scripture - knowing that Jesus gave the choice He did in Revelation, we have a foundation on which to base our predictions.

The Dragon doesn't want you to know that the Lord will defend our choice, and that therefore the prediction is determined.
