Zep 1:12 “At that time I will search Jerusalem
with lamps, and I will punish the men who are complacent, those who say in
their hearts, ‘The LORD will not do good, nor will he do ill.”
Much of the church today is tied to an ignorance and apathy
about justification, thinking that being a better person is all God requires.
True, we should be a better person than we were yesterday, but not by our own standards.
Apathy is an attitude that is indifferent/careless to the change that God calls
us to (Phl 2:5 let this mind be in you which is in Christ Jesus). Be it a negative
attitude, worry, guilt, fear, loneliness, bitterness, pride and apathy itself,
we’re called to act in the Lord to change our hearts towards such! Apathy is
the anesthesia to the Christian life that numbs the spirit, blocks the pain
that is there to motivate a change in our heart and spirit. In (Rev 3) the
church of Sardis, picture of the last days church, was warned of their apathy,
(vs 1 “I know your works. You have a
reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up and strengthen what
remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the
sight of God.”)
The worst chains are those which are not felt, seen nor
acknowledge by the prisoner… HSAY
