“But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!”

When we ask people to do something and they say yes, we always wonder how far are they willing to roll up their sleeves to get involved.  For the most part, people seem to roll up their sleeves with their cuffs just above their wrists.  Every now and then we run into people who roll up their sleeves far above their elbows and really dig in and make a difference in a short amount of time.  Those are the people that we want/need to move our organizations forward. It’s an easy thing to look for and watch for as we think about who should be asked to do what.

The scriptures tell us that we have to roll up our sleeves all the way when we commit to following Jesus.  While God will take any and all of the faith that we have, but He clearly wants us to roll our sleeves all the way up for Him.  As we think about what we are going to do today in our work, then let’s consider how far our sleeves are being rolled up for Christ.
