If you have perused my previous publication, you are aware of my conviction in the significance of experiences within the framework of trust. I opine that an individual's religious upbringing and personal encounters shape their being. The manner in which one engages in communal worship greatly influences their ability to perceive beyond conventional notions. It is crucial to avoid the two extremes that I am currently motivated to evade, drawing a parallel to the concept of temperature. Given my recent encounters with adversity, I comprehend the notion that lukewarmness is often regarded as indicative of a lack of faith, as it demonstrates a lack of passion or struggle. However, there exists an alternate perspective to this conundrum. It appears that when one merely goes through the motions, they succumb to the influence of either a cold or hot mindset. If an individual lacks reasons for their beliefs and fails to articulate how God has manifested Himself, they will inevitably be controlled by their immediate surroundings.pf one is feeling cold, their ability to rejoice in Christ and engage in spiritual life will be diminished. They will likely be influenced by the secularism prevalent in America, but will keep this mindset to themselves. On the other hand, if one is feeling hot, they will find their surroundings oppressive and struggle to fully focus on spiritual matters. Therefore, it is important to find a balance in these aspects and have a logical understanding of God and ourselves. If we fail to see God as exalted, we risk minimizing Him to our own level. Similarly, if we do not have a proper understanding of ourselves in light of God's knowledge, we may create a god that we can control. This kind of thinking, originating from nds, is what leads us to be easily swayed. Only when we truly grasp who God is can we distinguish between the mystical elements of faith and the paradigm of mysticism. It is necessary to have both experience and doctrine, otherwise, we will either perish from coldness or be susceptible to any teachings that come our way.
