REJECT APATHY: An Invitation to Action!

Last night we started to explore the prevalence of apathy in our community. Nobody is perfect. And none of us have it all together. But there is a massive difference between a life that is characterized by the lukewarm, the indifferent and the unchanged and a life that is in the process of being radically transformed. I wanted to send a brief message this afternoon to remind us all that Jesus didn’t say if you want to follow me you can do it in a lukewarm manner. He said “take up your cross and follow me.”

Because that’s exactly what He did. He took up the cross and He gave everything. And he asks us for everything. But we try to give Him less.

And if, like me, you’re absolutely fed up of giving Him just a little then I want to remind you that there’s an invitation for you to come and see me this week so that we can figure out together how we can view God for who He really is, practice and celebrate the spiritual disciplines, worship Christ with our whole lives, and start working towards being known as a community that puts its faith into action. Reject apathy – even as you read this – reject it. And take some action towards the radical transformation.

I’ve cleared my schedule. I’m waiting to hear from YOU.

You have a choice: to adjust how you live daily or to stay the same.
