"Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee." Deuteronomy 5:16

"So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of My mouth." Revelation 3:16

("What thou doest do it quickly" – said our Lord to Judas at the Last Supper.)

...IF to God-ward you lean, then GET DOWN TO BUSINESS – with God! For, your time is short (unto achievement). IF this doesn't suit you, then become the "life of the party" in Lucifer's camp! For, being "lukewarm" – said our Glorified Lord: "I will spew you out of My mouth"!

"And stood at His feet behind Him weeping, and began to wash His feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed His feet, and anointed them with the ointment." Luke 7:38

There was, perhaps, no greater example of REPENTance set forth in the dramas in Jesus' life than as recorded when Simon – the publican – invited the Lord to dine at his house.

"Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." Luke 6:36-38
