Laodicea, a lukewarm church, was wealthy yet spiritually poor. The call to this church is a call to us: to be 'hot' or 'cold', to live out our faith with passion and commitment. It's about the 'offer' of a life of purpose, passion, and power that comes from a vibrant relationship with God.

Laodicea is the seventh city with the seven-fold City of faith where the guardian angel Hilasmon demonstrates through zeal with knowledge the essence of true manhood through self-sacrifice and a laying down of oneself for the sake of the brethren. Here is the most valuable player whose often enigmatic actions cannot be fully understood until the matter comes to light in terms of altruistic and self-less generosity for the common good. Here is the eleemosynary genius who feels the pain and responds accordingly to stanch the bleeding and calm all fears.
