Rev 3:13-16   He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto 
the churches.  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; 
These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of 
the creation of God;  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: 
I would thou wert cold or hot.  So then because thou art lukewarm, and 
neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
