Challenge: Apathy



One question I'm aching to ask is: what makes our generation so apathetic? 
For those of you who don't know the word, it is defined by Wikipedia as: the absence of interest in or concern about emotional, social, spiritual, philosophical and/or physical life. 

People are often apathetic about their eternity and are only focused on fulfilling their present happiness. "Because that's all that matters"

Being apathetic about the things that matter most in life is directly detrimental to you, your future, and your eternity.
God wants our focus to be on our eternity, not on temporary pleasures.

 When we set our hearts on the present, in the right way, we realize Jesus is enough, God is enough for us, and having an active relationship with Him is all we truly need in this life.

Apathy is hard to control, and someone once asked me if it is 
controllable--or "can we control how much we care?"
So my question to you, is can we?

God is not a God of apathy, rather He is a God of action, and He's actively pursuing us.

Hebrews 11:6

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."

you want to take the focus off of yourself, and whatever reasons you have for being apathetic, whether they're conscious or not
and put that focus on God
because He is a God that demands action from you
to have a growing relationship with himself. 
If you believe in Him and take the action to accept Him into your life in order to  have a living, breathing relationship with Him, not only will you no longer be apathetic, but you will also experience His blessings.



I  really want to thank my best friend Megan Huppe for helping me with this weeks, it was a lot to work on together. Through it we managed, and came up with what we thought was best for you all to read. My dad gave me a good challenge this week, I really hope my work payed off. Thanks again Megan, and to all who read- it really does mean the world to me. :)
God Bless,
