Apathy in a hospital waiting room
I was in a hospital waiting room yesterday while a family member was getting some tests done. and I was simply reading an waiting and there were some various other people in the room, two such people (I assume were mother and daughter) were there as well, and the tv was on and for once they weren't playing soap operas(thats another rant entirely.) And the news came on and one of the headlines involved a school faculty member of a highschool engaging in sexual activities with a student. and the one lady made a comment of it being terrible. the other responded asking "That still bothers you?" the mother replied "of course it does, doesn't it bother you?" her daughter responded; "not anymore" her mom said "it should still!" that was the gist of their conversation. That summed up a huge portion of how people are today. They don't care what happens, now I'm not saying everyone is like that, but many are. How much of a difference would their lives be in Christ was a part of them? and I'm not saying the apathetic are just people who don't know the Lord, but Christians are too! Apathy is a dangerous step towards slacking off in our sharing the Lord with others.

Unfortunately, all too many are complacent. If matters affect someone that is not personally known, it is almost as if we are to distance ourselves. But, according to His Word .. we should never become complacent, or .. dare I even say the word .. TOLERANT. That's the word for today's society .. and something that is being pushed at from a global viewpoint. We must be tolerant and accepting of all people, in all cultures, in all circumstances. People are being forced to "accept" immoral situations as a sign of tolerance, even to the penalty of the law. How unfortunate, indeed.
