g159 A lukewarm church is only half-committed to self-denial and sacrificial living, to stressing that its people
must deny themselves and sacrificially die to self. They seldom stress that total sacrifice is demanded, that a
person must give all he is and has to reach the lost and meet the desperate needs of the world.
