More and More recently we see a general disinterest in the things of God. A lack of interest in church, a casual attitude regarding Jesus, and a complete lack of reverence for God in general.
We of course realize that all of mankind is flawed, sinful, and absolutely without hope; and it would seem, without a clue. This of course is of great concern, but the phenomenon that has spurred these current thoughts is that of “Christian” indifference regarding the things of God.
We know that scripture foretold a great falling away before the time of “great tribulation”:
[2Th 2:3 KJV] Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
For the believer in Christ indifference is dangerous, and Jesus is not a fan thereof, to the church at Laodicea he says:
[Rev 3:15-16 KJV] 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 spue thee out of my mouth.
To the Christian who is ashamed, he says:
[Mar 8:38 KJV] 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
And to the religious lost he says:
[Mat 7:22-23 KJV] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Pastor, Author and friend- Brother Jerry Locke once said, ” There are three kinds of people in this world, Believers, Unbelievers, and Make-believers. Which are you?
