Elapsed Time

SO. It's been quite a while since I've made a post, but it's not because I've run out of things to talk about (if you know me any at all, you'll know that's impossible) ... its because of my growing lack of nothingness. And trust me this lack is as confusing and vague as it sounds.

Its like this: My actual will to care, to express, to help, to grow and to do just about any and everything is at an all time low. Now, in relation to life and all the many problems it brings ( and believe me, with problems - when it rains, it pours) that's fine; may even be considered as a 'coping mechanism'. But you see the way my Christianity is set up, apathy is a HUGE issue.

See, it may be okay to just not feel anything when you see the rampant increase of media attention homosexuals are getting but it is NOT okay to feel nothing about how these people will spend eternity. It's probably okay to just be chill when you see someone on the road coming from a dance at 7:00am on a Sunday, but it's still not okay to not care about how this person will spend eternity. I could go on and on but the point is ( and by George, I hope you've gotten it by now) as Christians we should be very concerned about the spiritual future of people. We have been called to a life of discipleship, to a life of soul winning, to a life of ministry, to a life which mirrors Christ. Apathy fits nowhere in the mold of the Christian life.

What does apathy have to do with Elapsed time? Well, on a personal note, I've wasted a month or two being apathetic and so my spiritual life was slowly becoming dormant. No daily devotions, no prayer, no seeking after Christ on a personal level. That time that has been wasted on feeling nothing and moping for nothing, cannot be regained and many windows of opportunity have passed me by.

However, as Christians we serve a gracious God and so new windows have opened and there's still time to seek after God's own heart and to yearn to be like him and to gain a passion for aiding in the conversion of non-Christians.


In closing, just a reminder to believers (myself included):
          - Christianity is not a life of comfort, its a life of labouring and toiling tirelessly in the fields so that we can reap a great haul in the times of harvest.
         - Apathy is not of Christ; get back to the place of longing to see a change in humanity
         - NOTHING is impossible with Christ. Faith is essential for the Christian
