Changing Our World…On Being Complacent
This morning, I was reading a passage of Scripture from Zephaniah 1. Verse 12 really stuck out to me because I’ve been thinking about how many that fill church pews (not just at Center Chapel, but worldwide) seem to simply be going through the motions. The passage is warning about the coming destruction and in verse 12 says, “I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those who are complacent, who are like wine left on its dregs, who think, ‘The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.’”
See, I think that’s the thing…many of us often grow complacent. We find ourselves in a place where every thing just seems to be okay…we grow content. Yet, that seems so opposite of what Christ calls us to. And, here, we’re warned of being complacent…we may think we’re just find…not bad, not really good…just okay.
So, I hope to find that Christians, including myself, will grow out of this state of complacency, this state of contentment and press on toward what Christ has called us to. I hope that we will actively live out our faith.
