People who are lukewarm or indifferent in regard to religion or politics are call Laodiceans. Revelation 3:14–22 records a statement to the Christians in the city of Laodicea. The city was wealthy, and the Christians there were smug, self-satisfied people, at ease in their wealth, “lukewarm” in spiritual matters. Jesus said to the Laodiceans, “because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.” Later He said, “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.”
