Chuck Colson has a great column today about Christian apathy. The essence is:
"The average age of the world’s great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence...from bondage to spiritual faith...from spiritual faith to courage...from courage to liberty...from liberty to abundance...from abundance to selfishness...from selfishness to complacency…from complacency to apathy...from apathy to dependency...from dependency back to bondage.
So what stage are we in? Reeverts thinks we are entering the stage of apathy. And I hate to say it, but I agree. I am finding growing apathy among believers."

Me three - I am afraid I also agree with this assessment. We need to be about expanding God's Kingdom daily. It may be only in a small way, but Jesus calls us to be outward bound and too many Christians, myself included, are content to sit back and build our little kingdom and forget all about His. Not good. Read the article, then get up from your chair and do something for His Kingdom!
