3/6 Wisdom

Just because you forgive someone, does NOT mean you have to let them back into your life.

I'm Tired (From Doing Nothing)

Only those who have put in work this week have the right to be tired. If you haven't hustled this week, why are you tired? Cut the crap.

I'm serious. If you haven't worked and/or went to the gym 5 days a week, you have no right to be tired. 

What's On My Mind: 3/2

It's about time for me to share what's on my mind, so here goes:

If Jesus were alive, he would be called gay because he's unmarried.😒My point: Your mate can be a blessing or curse.

I take my faith and walk with God seriously, so any FB friend of mine who disrespects my belief in God, you will be unfriended, PERIOD.

Spiritual Apathy

Spiritual apathy is when a believer is indifferent towards their relationship with God. They're not concerned with growing in Christ.

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) March 2, 2017

It's one thing to be apathetic, but when believers suffer from spiritual apathy, they're walking on dangerous ground. Spiritual apathy starts from indifference towards God, then it graduates to walking away from Christ. A believer misses prayer time once, then twice, three times and so on. Pretty soon, (s)he is no longer active in their church, but they're still taking up pew space. Even then, it's a matter of time before that believer walks away from church and eventually Christ. Besides, how long does anyone think a spiritually apathetic person can last in God before they walk away from him? I'll wait.

Why do some believers suffer from spiritual apathy? Lots of reasons: They feel they know all there is to know about God/Christ, frustration with their walk, tired of organized religion, bad teaching, etc. When a believer is indifferent towards their relationship with God, that means they don't care about growing in Christ. They're satisfied with praying once or twice a week, if that. They're content with the little knowledge of God they do have because they don't want to dig deeper. Spiritual apathy can be translated to spiritual laziness, which both are the same thing because when a believer is spiritually lazy, they don't want to grow in Christ because it's work. I pray that I never become spiritually apathetic because then I'd be in trouble.

Church=Spiritual Maturity? I Think Not.

Everyone that's in church isn't maturing spiritually. Some see no need for it, which means they won't ever mature spiritually.
