To Those Who Say, "We Don't Give a Shit as Christians."

I have heard someone say before that it seems more reasonable to have a certain kind of Christianity of apathy. They have worded it to match modern vocabulary by saying, "We just don't give a shit." I must say that this is depressing. They think they have accomplished the goal of Christianity. They must not see the signs painted. To say you do not care about your own Christianity is the same as accepting a beautiful pocket watch that has run in the family for decades and then letting it sit on the dresser collecting dust and eventually losing it. I cannot say that this is what the Lord had in mind when he sent out the decree to go out baptizing and making disciples. Let us look at the other meanings of the Greek word for disciple, learner or pupil. Too many have relied on reason for our interpretation of the scripture. We have also relied too much on experience. Most pupils, also called learners, are to sit and listen at first, and then start making decisions based on the information we have just heard. Of course, most educated people should be able to at least reason that you cannot reason before you learn, for to reason without a pillar of learning is like trying to move a rowboat without oars. But back to my train of thought, we must be the pupils of the Lord. If we do not care, then we are not disciples. Can you say that you are a follower, yet say that what has been revealed to the Church and is being taught to the lay is to the likes of "good advice". I beg to differ. It is a covenant. The best definition for sinning is to move against the covenant made between God and his exalted creatures (Christians). And why move against a covenant made with someone who came to save us. Such an immanent God should at least compel us, if not force us to serve Him with great abandon for ourselves. Quite honestly, I think such apathy is thinking inward toward the self and not outward for God, and it is slavery to our sinful nature and is not choosing to partake in the freedom to love gifted to us.
