is very common within Christianity Christians deal with indifferent, lazy, lack of energy, apathetic! Many Christians
powerless, that nothing matters to them, are thinking only of themselves, nothing disturbs the heart, nothing makes leaving your comfort. Are static. It is very common to see them do not have communion with God, do not read the word, not fast, do not go much to church, do not help their neighbors. Have a sedentary lifestyle, where more open mouth and move more language faster than the arms or feet.
Such Christians are Christians apathetic Apathetic
= lack of emotion, motivation or enthusiasm. It is a psychological state of indifference in which the individual does not respond to aspects of the emotional, social, spiritual or physical. Is represented by passivity, laziness, indifference, loss of interest, indolence, neglect and lack of importance.
apathetic person perceives the spiritual life as dull, empty and meaningless, feel the joy and rewarding parts of Christianity have been arrested. Do not feel like doing anything, even though deep down you know you should do something for salir de esa situación, de esa tristeza. Con frecuencia se suele estar cansado, se está cansado incluso antes de realizar algun esfuerzo. Se siente incapaz de pasar de la intención de hacer algo por sí mismo.
La persona apática nunca no ve la necesidad de hacer las cosas, siempre cuestiona o simplemente no obedece, la persona apática, siempre antepone sus gustos y debilidades de su carne ante sus responsabilidades, si tiene sueño se duerme, no importa si esta en el trabajo, en la universidad, en una exposición o en la iglesia, etc. Durante la etapa de la iglesia primitiva tambien ocurrian estas cosas, a Pablo un apatico se le durmio mientras el predicaba y cayo desde el tercer piso de una casa, “El first day of the week, gathered together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, leaving the next day and continued his speech until midnight. and a young man named Autico, who was sitting in the window, exhausted from a deep sleep, and as Paul discoursed at length, overcome sleep on the third floor fell down and was taken up dead. Paul went down and fell on him and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves, for he is alive. "Acts 20:7,9-10
The usually apathetic little emotional. Never wanting to see an apathetic teaching directing, trying to evangelize, wanting to help, he never sees the need to do things, and disguises his laziness of spirituality. This apathetic not cry, do not laugh much, does not show much emotion or feeling, is always contained in a cloud of darkness, always craving mysteries, things that nobody knows and does not like to share with anyone. The uncertainty is always apathetic, no one knows what you know or what you're thinking.
An apathetic, it is pleasing to the eyes of God and not care about anyone else, not what anyone is going, can never be an instrument of blessing, knows to do good but does not , or cares to do so, "and who knows to do good, and it does it is sin. "James 4:17
The Apathetic is not about pleasing anyone but himself alone, not even try to please God, always looks good own, the apathetic do not see the need to congregate, the apathetic do not see why it should grow spiritually, so it all does not make sense, the Bible does not call for non-stop meeting together and encourage us in love "consider one another to provoke unto love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as some people do, but encourage and even more, as ye see the day approaching. "Hebrews 10:24-25
The apathetic puts his flesh to the spiritual needs, the apathetic, can not be a Christian, always thinking in the flesh, he always wants to please, "For those who are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh, but those who are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, nor can they, and those who are in the flesh can not please God. " Romans 8:5-8, This apathetic always prefer going to the movies, watching friends, playing Nintendo or chat before praying, reading the word, etc.
The apathetic have these characteristics
1 .- Lazy Sloth
: Heb (atsla, atsél, atsál) = idle, indolent, lazy
Gr (Katanarkáo) = be a burden, be burdensome nuisance / (nodsrós) = lazy, stupid, stupid, stupid, slow to think.
The lazy person is unstable, never finishes what he starts, it is negligent of their duties or commitments, it is slow to react, is slow.
"Lazy, how long wilt thou sleep? When you rise from your sleep? "Proverbs 6:9 , The lazy always want to sleep more than usual, is always spiritually asleep, never in the action, never in the fire of God, always as a corpse, no reaction, never ask God to work through it, it is customary to always tell you what to do.
"As vinegar to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him." Proverbs 10:26 , vinegar is an acid that acts on the enamel of teeth, making them more sensitive to temperatures and also makes them prone to decay, smoke on the eyes and blurred vision does not allow the correct positioning and orientation of the individual. The sloth is counter to everything that he sends, spoils all that is entrusted. I will not entrust anything because everything breaks down because of the slowness and laziness.
"The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made." Proverbs 13:4 , The lazy sometimes want to have a broad relationship with God, you want to change, to leave the apathy, want to get better every day, want to get up early for work, but accomplishes nothing of what is proposed, longs many things, including asking God for them, but never no effort on your part laziness always wins. "The desire of the slothful kills him, because his hands refuse to work." Proverbs 21:25
"The sluggard says, is a lion without, I'll be dead in the street." Proverbs 22:13 , this person sees evil and does nothing to prevent it just dropped, he looks at the consequences before come to pass but still does nothing to prevent it, we have the example of Eli, Eli was the priest of Israel and his sons were disobedient, unholy, blasphemers and sinners, God sent a prophecy to Eli that he will take away the lives of their children and condemn his family because he had not disciplined Eli and Eli said "He is the Lord do what he pleases" (see 1st Samuel 3:11-14,18 ) Eli was a man as lazy and apathetic to the word of God and decided not to do anything about it and inevitably killed his children, broke his neck and the ark of the covenant was stolen.
God wants you to wake your lazy slumber, you're like a dead man lying in the grave, we will revive, "Wherefore he saith, Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine." Ephesians 5:14
"For the guardians of my people are blind, they do not notice anything. They are all dumb dogs, they can not bark, they spend their lives lying and dreaming love to sleep. "Isaiah 56:10 NIV
The Lazy does a good job within the church, always sleeping, never do their job, the people never learn anything, always kept outside all, never involve more than the bill. Do not evangelize, do not study the Bible, not preach, sleep beats them. Laziness, mother of vices. The Christian lazy
not reach anything, always looking to do something and never achieved, providing This longing for things and never get, always wants to improve and not improve.
2 .- Indifference Indifferent
= not indicate a preference for nothing, does not show affection or interest in anything, no interest is made in one way or another
Indifferent Person is completely neutral in all areas, never want to choose anything, ever think of doing something about it, always hoping and justice often say I am fasting to see what God says, but not fast, no waiting time God just an excuse to avoid engaging in something.
spiritually
This person is useless, This is a typical Christian who never want to read the Bible, pray you never, ever wants to get everything absolutely everything you do not care. For the Christian it is like to pray or not pray, it is the same sin and stop sinning, he does not see the need to do some things, all questions and do not see why you need to do things differently. This indifference is always criticizing, always muttering, always against those who are in favor and in favor of those who are against.
Indifferent Person hard heart is no longer cares about anything, you can see someone dying at his side and can not move a finger. The indifferent gradually lost their friends, because you never move to them, becomes a selfish and egocentric and just when you need your friends are important to him, but when they need it never shows my friend, the Bible goes against the indifference of the Christian act, if you are a friend and show yourself as such passivity leaves aside, "The man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend closer than a brother." Proverbs 18:24
indifference almost always takes a bit of pride or arrogance, as the indifferent think things are as he says, and that he alone is right, but that's the hobby of it, winning the argument, but is indifferent to changes that may lead to what he says or does not say, like always being right, and if the end decides to do something, it must be as he says, because if everything is not wrong, is thought wiser and more intelligent than others, "In his own The sluggard is wiser than seven men who can advise. "Proverbs 26:16
The indifferent ignores the warning, it hardens and does not change but remains static, hard, and if sin remains sin, never change your way of thinking (no regrets), this indifference will eventually fall into the snares of evil, "Blessed is the man who always fears the Lord, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble. "Proverbs 28:14
