Unknowingly Apathetic

Wow, what a title. Yeah. Well Pastor Mark preached a message tonight and hit on the subject of Apathy. I felt some words of, well wisdom come to me =) 

I think sometimes we can become apathetic and not even realize it. We hang out with our friends and family everyday. Some of them already know Jesus and some don’t. All can use an encouraging word. When we hang out with them all the time it becomes natural to just coast and maybe be oblivious to the needs of the ones closest to us. 

My family is not really saved. I say not really because I am not really sure. Issue one. Why don’t I know where they stand? Because I am so use to them being where they are and being comfortable with it. This isn’t good my friends. I was convicted tonight about how I am with my friends and family. Is my passion for God, put on the back burner as i move into cruise control when I hit the family scene, I just expect to hear people complaining and just being how they are.We make jokes how this family member always has issues and you dont want to hear it again. We all do it. I find myself being more positive with strangers and other people then with my own family.

The people God put me in a spot to reach I have become apathetic in my christianity with them. I want to challenge you as reading this think about how you act with the ones closest. The ones who God wants you to reach and put you in a place to reach. Ask God to make you more aware of your friends and families circumstances. 

Well thats all I have to say =)
