Spiritual Apathy

 

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.

Revelation 3:15-16

 

What causes spiritual apathy in your life and in mine?

 

1. Self-sufficiency.

 

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

Revelation 3:17

 

2. Distractions of this world

 

19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

Mark 4:19

 

How do we know if we're living with this

type of spiritual apathy?

1. We're more concerned with impressing people than living for God.

2. We're obsessed with life on earth, rather than eternity in heaven

3. We rationalize sin, and we live without truly fearing God.

4. We believe in Jesus, but we rarely share our faith.

5. We only turn to God when we need him.

6. We're not much different from the world.

 

What do you do to reignite the fire?

 

Every day do something that requires faith.
