The Spirit of Indifference

The problem with indifference is that many who have it don't know it; and those who do...don't care.

Definition of Indifference
  • Apathy, unconcerned, disinterest.  
  • Not mattering one way or the other. 
  • Having no particular interest or concern.  
  • Lack of diligence, dedication and devotion.  
  • Attitude and actions say, "I don't care!"

God's people have always been plagued with indifference.
  • Lamentations 1:1-12 - Judah is doomed to captivity and the people act as if it is nothing.
  • 1 Corinthians 5 - At Corinth there was a case of fornication in their midst and the brethren had done nothing.  They were not even upset about it.
  • Revelation 3:15-16 - Church at Laodicea was lukewarm.
Indifference is a CANCER that eats away at the life of a Christian and a local church.

The people of God should be DILIGENT, DEVOTED and ZEALOUS!
  • Matthew 6:33 - seek first the kingdom of God.
  • 2 Peter 3:15 - sanctify the Lord (set him apart) in your heart.
  • Romans 12:11 - fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.
  • Colossians 3:23 - put everything you have into the service of The Lord.
  • Ecclesiastes 9:10 - whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.
  • Titus 2:14 - zealous of good works.
