Apathy

Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish the men settled in complacency, who say to themselves, ‘The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.’

Their wealth will be plundered and their houses laid waste. They will build houses but not inhabit them, and plant vineyards but never drink their wine.

Wake up and strengthen what remains, which is about to die; for I have found your deeds incomplete in the sight of My God.

For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.

So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. …

I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other!

So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth!

…redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

The way of the slacker is like a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway.

You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,

…yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.

Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.
