The biggest enemy of God is not active evil, but complacency. Satisfaction, complacency, apathy, indifference, self-assuredness—this is passive evil. These are the lukewarm whom God despises:
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
—Revelation 3:15-16
Active evil has momentum. Active evil has energy. And like a martial arts master, God can flip active evil and use its own force to create good. My testimony is living proof of that. The active evil of all the antagonists in my life, the very passion with which they sought to ruin me, provided the energy and momentum God used to produce an explosion of blessings like I have never seen before. The very fire with which they hoped to send me down in flames, God tranformed into a rocket to shoot me into a new level of victory far beyond my expectations.
There is nothing to fear from those whose hearts are bent and whose minds plot evil and destruction.
But, God save us from the satisfied!
The comfortably numb, the placid, the complacent, the dispassionate, the lukewarm—the time to spit them out is now!
