GC, your tagline, which is great, might give you an appreciation for another incisive quote by Capon, which might be relevant here:

"We are in a war between dullness and astonishment…The most critical issue facing Christians is not abortion, pornography, the disintegration of the family, moral absolutes, MTV, drugs, racism, sexuality, or school prayer. The critical issue today is dullness. We have lost our astonishment. The Good News is no longer good news, it is okay news. Christianity is no longer life changing, it is life enhancing. Jesus doesn’t change people into wild-eyed radicals anymore; He changes them into “nice people.” -Robert Farrar Capon, The Astonished Heart

The most critical issue facing Christians is not abortion,...etc...The critical issue today is dullness.

Easy for him to say - he's already been born. Lukewarm is bad, but I'm not sure that it's somehow more critically bad than any of the other things he listed.

Cordially,

Great quote (sad but true). Thanks for posting it!
