TRANSCRIPT

brothers and sisters in Christ we are living in a time where titles traditions

and tokens of religion often deceive people into a false sense of spiritual

safety There are many who wear the cross around their necks but fail to carry the

cross in their hearts There are many who bow their heads at mass but refuse to

bow their wills before the Almighty The pages of scripture do not flatter us

They cut like a two-edged sword dividing soul and spirit revealing the true thoughts and intentions of the heart

Today I come not to tickle the ears but to stir the soul not to offer a pillow

of comfort but a mirror of truth because the holy word of God makes it

clear not every Catholic will be accepted by the Lord on that day And I

say this with trembling in my bones and sorrow in my heart There are three types

of Catholics the Lord will reject and we must examine our lives before it is too

late The first type of Catholic who will be rejected by God is the one who wears

the name but lacks the life This is the cultural Catholic The traditionalist by

heritage but not by heart This is the one who was baptized as a child but

never truly born again by the spirit of God This is the one who attends mass at

Christmas and Easter Who knows how to recite the creed but has never walked

the narrow road of the cross Jesus said in Matthew 15:8 "These people honor me

with their lips but their hearts are far from me." The danger of being near the church

but far from Christ is very real Just because one stands in the pew does not

mean one stands in grace Just because one kneels in ceremony does not mean one

is bowed in surrender God does not recognize those who merely go through the motions He

sees past robes rituals and rosaries He looks at the heart He knows whether

there is a true hunger for righteousness or a hollow performance of religion In the Gospel of Matthew

7:21 our Lord says "Not everyone who says to me,"Lord Lord," will enter the

kingdom of heaven but only the one who does the will of my father who is in heaven Do you see the name alone is not

enough The label Catholic will not save you What matters is whether your heart

belongs to Christ whether your life is lived for his glory and whether his

spirit lives in you This type of Catholic often clings to tradition without

transformation They may light candles but live in darkness They may sing hymns but harbor

hatred They may venerate saints while ignoring the Savior Religion becomes a shield behind which they hide their

rebellion But God is not fooled He will not be mocked He sees the secret sins He

hears the thoughts we whisper in our pride He weighs our lives not by what is seen but by what is true Isaiah 29:13

echoes again These people come near to me with with their mouth and honor me

with their lips but their hearts are far from me Are we that people or have we

become so familiar with the form of religion that we have lost the fire of

devotion there is a deep sorrow in the heart of God when he looks upon those who claim his name yet do not carry his

fire He speaks through his word in Revelation 3:15 16 saying "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 These are not the words of a

distant or uncaring God but the voice of a father who sees the spiritual apathy

of his people and longs to awaken them There are many Catholics who have been

baptized confirmed and who take their place in the pews each Sunday Yet their

hearts are far from the fire of divine love They know the motions They recite

the prayers They kneel and rise in rhythm with the liturgy But there is no holy passion within them Their souls are

quiet not with peace but with slumber Their faith is not alive with hunger for

God but instead floats passively through ritual untouched by the spirit's

conviction This kind of lukewarmness is not just a matter of emotional dullness It is a dangerous spiritual condition It

is the kind of faith that neither fully rejects God nor fully embraces him It is

the life that says "I believe yet continues unchanged." It is the mouth

that confesses Christ but the life that does not reflect him The Lord did not

die on the cross so that we might offer him halfhearted allegiance He gave

everything and he demands all of us in return The lukewarm Catholic says "I will give

God one hour on Sunday," but reserves the rest of the week for the

self He does not burn with desire to read the scriptures to pray with urgency

or to serve others with love He is comfortable and in that comfort he is at

risk of spiritual death The prophets of old the apostles and the saints of the church

burned with holy zeal They were not perfect but they were passionate Their

lives were marked by sacrifice prayer and a longing for the presence of God The lukewarm believer has no such

longing He is content with outward religion and inward indifference He does not wrestle in

prayer nor does he weep over sin He does not hunger and thirst for righteousness

He does not weep for the lost He walks past the hurting without compassion and

hears the word of God without trembling This kind of spiritual laziness is

offensive to God because it misrepresents his worth To be lukewarm is to treat the eternal sacrifice of

Christ as common It is to treat the blood of the Savior as a routine thing

It is to sit at the edge of the fire and never step into its heat God is not

seeking cold observance or emotionless obedience He is seeking hearts that burn

with love souls that tremble at his word lives that are surrendered in joyful

obedience Jesus warned his followers that many would call him Lord Lord and

yet be unknown to him The lukewarm Catholic fits this warning They may know

the creeds but not the Christ They may hold the rosary without truly praying They may attend the Eucharist

but never commune with the Lord This is not a call to emotionalism but to deep

spiritfilled surrender A soul on fire for God is not simply loud or passionate in expression It is obedient humble and

ready to be used The fire of God compels action It awakens a holy dissatisfaction

with sin and a growing desire for holiness Lukewarmness dulls the senses It numbs

the conscience It leads the believer to think they are safe while they drift far

from the shore of grace They may be involved in church but they have not encountered the living

Christ They are like the church in Sardis having a reputation for being

alive but in truth dead The danger of lukewarmness is not just that it offends God but that it deceives the believer

The lukewarm soul often feels secure They do not rebel openly nor do they

reject truth outright But their lack of fire blinds them to their true condition They think

"I am doing enough." While God sees a heart that has settled into spiritual apathy They no longer tremble at God's

voice or rejoice in his presence The things of God are no longer precious to

them They have lost their first love This condition can last for years even

decades The soul becomes used to dryness The conscience is quieted not by

the peace of the spirit but by the noise of religious routine The heart becomes a desert

though it once flowed with living water This is why God warns so strongly He

does not say he will simply withdraw He says I will spit you out This is not

cruel It is just for to claim his name without carrying his flame is to dishonor

him The word of God calls us to examine ourselves to test our hearts Are we

lukewarm have we allowed routine to replace relationship have we become

comfortable with a form of godliness that lacks power the solution is not despair but

repentance God does not desire to cast us away He knocks on the door even of

the lukewarm soul and offers fellowship He wants to restore the fire to fan the

embers into flame again But he will not force himself upon us We must respond We must recognize the

danger of living in the middle neither cold nor hot We must hunger again for

the spirit for the word for righteousness The Lord desires a church that burns

brightly in a dark world A Catholic soul that walks in the fire of God becomes a light to

others But the lukewarm believer casts only shadows The second type of Catholic

who will be rejected by God is the one who knows the truth but lives in

disobedience This is the Catholic who has heard the gospel received the

sacraments perhaps even served in the church but continues to willfully sin and refuses to repent Hebrews 10:26

warns us plainly If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the

knowledge of the truth no sacrifice for sins is left These are terrifying words

and they are not written for pagans or atheists They are written for those who sit under

the teaching of God's word who receive his grace but trample it underfoot This

kind of Catholic becomes comfortable in sin They excuse it defend it justify it

They say God understands while they live in adultery They say "God is merciful."

While they walk in greed gossip slander drunkenness and deceit They presume upon

the mercy of God while rejecting his commandments But Paul says in Romans 6:12 "Shall we go on sinning so that

grace may increase?" By no means We are those who have died to sin How can we

live in it any longer the grace that saves is the same grace that sanctifies You cannot receive

Jesus as savior and reject him as Lord The Lord is patient yes but his patience

is not permission to rebuild He calls us to holiness Be holy for I am holy says the Lord in 1 Peter: 16 Yet many

Catholics today live as though the call to holiness were optional as though God

will accept a double life as though the narrow path were just a metaphor But the

word of God makes no such allowance In Revelation 315:16 Jesus speaks to the church of

Ladyia saying "I know your deeds that you are neither cold nor hot." So cuz

you are lukewarm neither hot nor cold I am about to spit you out of my mouth

Lukewarm Catholics beware You are not halfsaved You are in great danger Some

think their confessions can cancel their lifestyles but true confession includes repentance It is not enough to say "I'm

sorry," on Sunday and sin again on Monday Repentance means turning away

from sin not flirting with it God will not bless a people who wink at iniquity

and call it grace He will not welcome into his kingdom those who trample the blood of his son underfoot Hebrews 10:31

says "It is a fearful thing to fall into hands of the living God Let us not be

deceived by cheap grace Let us walk in obedience fearing God and hating sin There is a deep ache

in the heart of God when his people speak his name but do not walk in his ways The prophet Isaiah recorded the

words of the Lord saying "These people come near to me with their mouth and

honor me with their lips but their hearts are far from me." Isaiah 29:13

And our Lord Jesus echoed this in Matthew 23 when he confronted the religious leaders of his day calling

them whitewashed tombs clean on the outside but full of dead men's bones

within These are not verses aimed at pagans or atheists They are directed at

those who claim to belong to God who wear the garments of religion but live

in contradiction to the very God they pretend to serve Among Catholics this

kind of hypocrisy is not a rare disease It is a silent and deadly poison that

slips into the soul through unchecked pride and unrepented sin It manifests in a life where the lips say "Lord," but

the life does not follow his lordship The rosary may be in hand the cross

around the neck and the words of prayer flowing easily but the heart is chained

to darkness behind the scenes The hypocrite attends mass and sings hymns with others but behind closed doors he

lies slanders and schemes He may bow before the altar but he harbors lust

resentment or dishonesty when no one is watching He fasts when the church

commands but he feasts on bitterness envy or secret addictions His faith is a

mask not a mirror It is designed to make others think he is holy while he refuses

to bring his sin into the light of God's truth Jesus warned about this kind of

duplicity with piercing clarity He saw the scribes and Pharisees offering long

prayers in public while devouring the homes of widows in private He saw men

scrubbing the outside of the cup while leaving the inside filthy He sees the

same today He sees the Catholic who serves as a lector but speaks with cruelty to family He sees the altar

server who bows in reverence but mocks others in secret He sees the churchgoer

who never misses confession but never truly repents This is the danger of

hypocrisy It can fool people but it cannot fool God God is not looking for

religious performance He is not swayed by how eloquently we pray or how consistently we show up for

church What he seeks is truth in the inward parts A heart that trembles at

his word and a soul that walks in humility The hypocrite forgets that God

sees everything He sees not just what we do in public but who we are when the lights are off and the doors are closed

The psalmist wrote "You desire truth in the innermost being." That's Psalm

51:6 But the hypocrite is more concerned with appearance than authenticity He fears exposure more than he fears sin He

would rather look holy than be holy He talks about grace but withholds mercy

from others He speaks of justice but acts with dishonesty He joins the church in worship but his heart worships pride

power or pleasure This kind of duplicity not only grieves the spirit but hardens

the heart Over time the hypocrite can no longer hear the voice of conviction He

becomes skilled at hiding even from himself He may no longer feel shame because he has drowned out the voice of

God with the voice of self justification He convinces himself that his outward behavior is enough He

compares himself to others and says "At least I'm better than them." But the

standard is not other sinners The standard is the holiness of God And

before that standard every mask falls Jesus did not die on the cross to make

hypocrites more comfortable in their sin He died to break the chains of sin and

to set the soul free into a life of truth humility and love The hypocrite

chooses religion without repentance form without faith ritual without righteousness The danger of such a life

is that it can persist for years without confrontation Hypocrisy is a sin that

grows best in secret It is fed by applause position and

self-righteousness And though it may thrive in the shadows it is always exposed by the

light of God's word There will come a day when every hidden thing will be

revealed When every whispered lie and secret act will be brought to light

Jesus made this clear when he said "Nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest." Luke 8:17 On that day it will

not matter how much scripture was quoted or how many church activities were attended What will matter is whether the

soul was submitted to God in truth The hypocrite may have fooled

others but he cannot fool the judge who sees the heart God desires repentance

not performance He calls out not to condemn but to restore The invitation is not to

hide sin deeper but to bring it into the open and lay it at the foot of the cross

The way of freedom is not through deception but through confession God is merciful to those who

come in brokenness and truth The hypocrite must make a choice Continue in

the comfort of a false image or fall on his knees in true surrender Pride must be shattered The

mass must be removed True faith begins where pretense ends It is not the

outwardly impressive but the inwardly honest who will stand approved before

God The church is not a stage for performance but a hospital for the sick

And unless the hypocrite sees himself as sick he will never cry out for healing

God is near to the contrite heart but he opposes the proud There is no room in

heaven for unrepentant duplicity The lips may speak prayers but unless

the heart is aligned those prayers are empty The hypocrite must understand that

he is not merely endangering his own soul but also poisoning others His

example may cause the weak to stumble His double life may bring shame to the name of Christ The world already

doubts the sincerity of the church When those who claim Christ live contrary to his ways they confirm the

world's cynicism Jesus said "It would be better for a man to have a millstone tied around his neck than to lead others

astray." The hypocrite by pretending to be what he is not leads others to

believe that faith is a hollow performance This is not just personal sin It is public betrayal The church

suffers when its members live with divided hearts The body of Christ is wounded when one of its own chooses

darkness while wearing the garments of light God does not reject the broken He

rejects the false He welcomes the sinner who repents but he warns the actor who

refuses to step off the stage The third type of Catholic who will be rejected by

God is the one who refuses to forgive This is the one who recites the Lord's

Prayer but does not live it This is the one who says "Forgive us

our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us but holds bitterness

in their heart." Jesus was not vague on this issue In Matthew 642:15 he declares "If you forgive other

people when they sin against you your heavenly father will also forgive you

But if you do not forgive others their sins your father will not forgive your

sins How many masses have we attended with hatred in our hearts how many communions have we taken with a grudge

against our brother this is no small matter Forgiveness is not an optional virtue It

is a command of God Colossians 3:15 says "Bear with each other and forgive one

another If any of you has a grievance against someone forgive as the Lord forgave

you The cross of Christ is the place where our sins were forgiven And if we claim to stand stand beneath that cross

we must also release those who have wronged us Unforgiveness is a chain that binds the soul and blinds the eyes It

poisons our prayers corrupts our hearts and blocks the flow of God's grace in

our lives There are Catholics who serve in ministry but harbor lifelong grudges

There are families torn apart because no one is willing to say "I forgive you."

There are marriages where love has turned cold because pride has taken the place of mercy And all the while we say we follow

the one who cried out "Father forgive them as nails pierced his hands." How

can we worship the crucified Christ while crucifying one another with our words our silence and our resentment the

unforgiving Catholic stands in direct contradiction to the gospel And unless

there is repentance God will not accept their offerings or prayers The tragedy

is that somewhere unforgiveness as a badge of honor They say "You don't know

what they did to me." But I ask you do you know what you did to Christ have you measured the depth of

your sin against him and yet he forgave you He washed you He loved you And now

he commands you to do the same for others To withhold forgiveness is to exalt ourselves above the cross It is to

say "My pain is more powerful than his blood." And that my friends is a form of

idolatry It is a sin that will keep many outside the gates of the kingdom There

is no greater tragedy in the life of faith than to come face to face with the truth of God to know it clearly to

understand it deeply and yet to turn away from it in willful rebellion The word of God is not vague about the

danger that this brings Hebrews Hendi 2:6-27 says "If we deliberately keep on

sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth no sacrifice for

sins is left but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging

fire that will consume the enemies of God This is not a warning to those who

have never heard This is not a judgment against the ignorant This is a clear sobering declaration to

those who know what is right who know what the church teaches who have heard the call of the gospel and yet choose to

defy it Among Catholics this is the soul who has been

catechized who has received the sacraments who knows the authority of the church but consciously decides to

walk in the opposite direction This is rebellion not born of confusion but of

pride not of ignorance but of arrogance The rebellious heart resists

correction It hears the voice of the church saying this is the way Walk in it

And it answers with I will go my own way It knows the commandments of Christ but

says I will make my own truth These are the Catholics who question the

moral teachings of the church not because they seek understanding but because they desire escape They reject

the authority of the magisterium and reinterpret doctrine to suit their own

desires They twist the words of scripture to make sin sound like freedom and obedience look like

bondage They do not stumble in weakness They march in pride Their rebellion is

not accidental It is deliberate defended and declared And in doing so they do not

merely reject rules They reject God himself God has always spoken clearly to

his people about the cost of rebellion From the days of Israel's wilderness

wandering when hearts hardened against his commandments to the words of Jesus

calling the people to repent or perish the warning has remained unchanged To

know the truth and reject it is to stand in opposition to the very one who is truth It is not a light matter It is not

a minor flaw It is a posture of the heart that calls good evil and evil good

These are those who say they know God but in works deny him They may still

attend church on occasion They may speak of faith in polite conversation but in their decisions

their relationships their values they deny the lordship of Christ They treat

the altar as a relic the eucharist as a symbol and holiness as an option This

rebellion often disguises itself as freedom as liberation from old

traditions as enlightenment in a modern age But God does not change with culture

and truth does not evolve with public opinion His word stands forever And

rebellion no matter how sophisticated or justified is still rebellion The rebellious soul does not

lose its way by accident It chooses to walk away It silences the

conscience It avoids the confessional It distances itself from the saints and

surrounds itself with voices that affirm sin It may even wear the name Catholic

while denying the very heart of the faith It is the most dangerous deception of all to know the truth but live as

though it does not matter The church in her mercy continues to call the

rebellious home Like the father of the prodigal son she watches the road praying for return

But that return must be real Repentance is not lip service It is a turning of

the heart The rebellious cannot expect the peace of Christ while holding on to the idols of self will They cannot live

in open defiance of divine authority and then expect heaven's blessing The mercy of God is vast but it

is not permission for rebellion The cross was not meant to decorate rebellion but to destroy it

Grace is not a license to sin It is the power to overcome sin And when truth is

rejected grace is also rejected for grace operates only in the realm of truth Rebellion is often celebrated in

the world It is seen as boldness authenticity and personal empowerment But in the eyes of

God it is the root of the fall the echo of Lucifer's pride the seed of every

soul's destruction It was rebellion that drove Adam and Eve from Eden It was

rebellion that hardened Pharaoh's heart It was rebellion that nailed Christ to the

cross And it is rebellion that continues to separate men and women from the God

who loves them The rebellious Catholic does not merely drift away from God He

erects walls between his soul and his savior He is not pushed out of the fold

He walks out on his own And every step is paved with the knowledge he once

had and the truth he once heard Yet even for the rebellious there is a path home

The same God who warned with fire also calls with love The way of return is narrow but it is open The rebellious

heart must be broken The will must be surrendered The truth that was once

resisted must now be embraced It will cost pride It will cost comfort but it

will restore the soul The judgment described in Hebrews is real but it is not inevitable for those who

repent God waits with open arms but not forever The soul that knows the truth

and still says no To God places itself in eternal peril

The greatest tragedy is not the one who never knew but the one who knew and

turned away There is no greater loss than to be handed the light and then choose the

darkness In the end every rebellious soul must answer one question Whose authority will

I live under the authority of self of society or of the sovereign king who reigns in

heaven god will not force his lordship on any heart but he will not share his

throne with another Those who know the truth but deny it must understand what

they are doing They are not merely choosing a different lifestyle They are

choosing a different Lord And no other Lord can save No other truth can heal No

other way can lead home The rebellious soul may feel strong in defiance But

that strength will wither in the light of judgment Only surrender brings salvation

Only truth leads to life Only repentance can reopen the doors that rebellion has shut So I call upon you now in the light

of the word of God and by the mercy of Christ examine yourselves Are you merely Catholic in

name but far from God in heart are you walking in disobedience while clinging to false hope are you bound by

unforgiveness even as you seek forgiveness the Lord is not interested in empty religion He desires truth in

the inward parts Psalm 51:6 says "Behold you desire truth in the innermost

being." God is looking for hearts that are humble spirits that are contrite and

lives that are surrendered Do not wait until the final day to find out where you stand That day

is coming and it will come suddenly Matthew 25 tells of the 10 virgins Five

were wise and five were foolish The foolish ones thought they were ready But

when the bridegroom came they were shut out And the door was closed That door

still stands open today But it will not remain open forever The time to repent is now The time to surrender is now The

time to walk in holiness obedience and forgiveness is now Let us be the kind of

Catholics who live what we believe Let us be disciples not just members Let us

bear fruit in keeping with repentance Let us be people who know the shepherd not just the

system Let us be lovers of the cross not just wearers of it The church is not a

place to hide It is a place to be healed to be transformed to be made holy And if

we walk in the light as he is in the light we will have fellowship with one another And the blood of Jesus will

cleanse us from all sin I speak to you not with judgment but with urgency because I too must examine

myself I too must weep before the altar We are all in need of grace But let us

not abuse that grace Let us run to Christ not just with our lips but with

our lives Let us be the Catholics who will not be rejected because we have embraced

the gospel in truth in love and in power For those who are in Christ there is no

condemnation But for those who play with religion and ignore the voice of God

there will be weeping and nashing of teeth The Lord stands at the door and knocks If anyone hears his voice and

opens the door he will come in and dine with them Open the door today Lay down

your pride Turn from your sin Release your bitterness Embrace the Savior Be

more than a name on a parish list Be a soul written in the book of life Heaven is

real Hell is real The choice is yours May we be found faithful and may we be

welcomed with the words "Well done good and faithful servant." Amen
