Katherine Bennett talks to Brenden Thompson, the new UK director of Word on Fire, about establishing the ministry here.
In the nowhere place of Dante’s Divine Comedy we find the lukewarm – those who, in life, never took a stand for good or for evil and so find themselves with a bunch of other Ken Barlows waiting aimlessly in the lobby of hell. Even Hell won’t have them. “I know your works,” we are told in Revelation, “you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot!” (Rev 3:15-16).
Christians, we know from the lives of the saints, come in a wonderful array of shapes and colours, but what they can never be is lukewarm.
