"day pass without confessing your neglect to your children. Tell them that you mean now to do your God- appointed work. Ask them to take hold with you in the reform. Make diligent efforts to redeem the past. No longer remain in the condition of the Laodicean church. In the name of the Lord I call upon every family to show its true colors. Reform the church in your own home. 7T 66.1"
"I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."
The EGW passage explicitly references the Laodicean church and its lukewarm condition, directly alluding to Revelation 3:15-16. She uses this reference to urge families to reform and show their true colors.
