BREAK FREE: SPIRITUAL INDIFFERENCE

KEY SCRIPTURES

“I know your deeds, that you are neither
cold nor hot. I wish you were either one
or the other! So, because you are
lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am
about to spit you out of my mouth.You
say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth
and do not need a thing.’ But you do not
realize that you are wretched, pitiful,
poor, blind and naked.” Revelation 3:15-17 NIV

“... but the worries of this life, the
deceitfulness of wealth and the desires
for other things come in and choke the
word, making it unfruitful.” Mark 4:19NIV

“I correct and discipline everyone I love.
So be diligent and turn from your
indifference.“Look! I stand at the door
and knock. If you hear my voice and
open the door, I will come in, and we will
share a meal together as
friends.” Revelation 3:19-20 NLT

2 Causes of Spiritual Indifference 

• Self sufficiency (Rev. 3:17)
• Distractions of this world (Mark 4:19)
  

 Feeling numb isn't the absence of feeling–but the sensation of feeling too much at once." -Unkown

Sometimes we are content with just a little bit of Jesus... Just enough not make us feel better..." 

 I'm indifferent when:
​
1. I’m more concerned with impressing people than living for God.
2.I’m obsessed with life on Earth rather than eternity.
3.I rationalize sin and live without truly fearing God.
4.I believe in Jesus, but I rarely share my faith.
5.I only turn to God when I need Him.
6.I’m not much different from the world
