John MacArthur on "the Apathy of the Modern Church"

I think that John MacArthur nails this one on the head. If we look at Revelation 3, we can see Christ's stinging indictment to the church at Laodicea.

"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this: 'I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. Because you say, "I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing," and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.'" (Rev. 3:14-19)

Now, this could be very apply for today. Here we have these mega-churches with these beautiful new, state-of-the-art buildings, yet from the pulpits of these churches, truth is not being preached. After looking at this, I find it amazing that Charles Spurgeon was lamenting this trend in Victorian Britain. How even more true do his words ring today.
