⬆⬆ You reference Laodicea. The "lukewarm" there said, "I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing." Sounds more Tea Party than Bernie Sanders to me.

Actually I worry that we live in the day when the Laodicean Church is most prevalent. Revelation 3:15-16 (KJV)
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Verse 15 is what scares me. The reason The Lord mentions the thing about being rich is only to point out that the man who lives in comfort does not often see his own need for Christ. It is not that riches are particularly a curse, but men tend to trust in them because riches, unlike salvation, can be held in the hand. No faith is needed there. Lukewarm Churches are more like socials than they are sermons.
