Reject Apathy

Apathy – a lack of feeling, emotion, concern or interest.

Has apathy been setting in on you and your life? Have you lost interest in reading God’s Word? Are you no longer concerned with the sin that’s over taking your life? Have you lost all sense of emotion when you attend church on Sunday mornings? Is your heart hardened to feeling conviction?

When you read your Bible and something applies to you, do you actually apply it to your life and obey what God says; or do you just take a mental note of it and go on living how you want to live? When you attend a worship service do you focus on all the negative things or do you allow your heart, mind and soul to be fully in the presence of the living God? When you are convicted of sin in your life, do you confess it, repent and fully surrender that area of your life over to God; or do you just squelch the role of the Holy Spirit and just try not to think about it?

Do you model your life after Christ and the example that He has given to us; or do you make decisions on your own and do as you please? Do you avoid awkwardness, ambiguity and embarrassment by never talking about spiritual things, stepping out in faith or fully trusting God for a decision? Do you have doubts about your relationship with God that hold you in fear and have caused you to give up on Him; rather than seeking the truth and allowing Him to speak to you?

It’s easier to be apathetic than it is to be passionate. Where do you stand? What are you willing to give up in order to get right with Him? What are you willing to get rid of in order to get closer to Him?

Reject Apathy.
