God calls us to action, to be his hands and feet, the voice of reason, the flavor of compassion. Through those faithful actions, others will be drawn to him for all eternity. Let's get to work!

Dealing with Spiritual Apathy Preacher: Andrew Southerton Date: 1⧸7⧸24 Series: Meh-lachi Reading: Malachi 1:1-5

The book of Judges begins a new chapter in the history of Israel. Unfortunately it reveals a dark period in Israel's history and serves as a warning for us today. After the death of Joshua, the nation triumphed in taking the Promised Land before descending into a destructive sin cycle. God repeatedly raised up judges to deliver His people even as their disobedience continued. The book of Judges provides a clear reminder of how easy it is for disbelief to lead to destruction, idolatry to lead to slavery, and amnesia to lead to abandonment. All the while, God's faithfulness is on full display despite His people's faithlessness. This summer we'll be looking back at the broken heroes that fell short and looking forward to the ultimate savior Jesus, who did what no one else could. Matthew 7:24-27.

Are you ready to reveal God's glory where there is no glory? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. This week, we are reading 1 Samuel 4. I've titled this chapter "Misusing Divine Power." In the first few verses of Chapter 4, we discover that the Israelites were at war with the Philistines. They lose two battles, killing 37,000 men. The Ark of God is taken because Hophni and Phinehas make another stupid decision. They are both killed, and a messenger brings back news: Eli, their father, falls out of his chair because he is fat, apathetic, and blind, breaking his neck and dying. And then this happens to Eli's daughter-in-law: Now his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant, about to give birth. And when she heard the news that the ark of God was captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed and gave birth, for her pains came upon her. And about the time of her death the women attending her said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you have borne a son.” But she did not answer or pay attention. And she named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel!” because the ark of God had been captured and because of her father-in-law and her husband. And she said, “The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured.” — 1 Samuel 4:19-22 This chapter concludes with the fulfillment of God's prophecy against Eli and his household. In just a few hours, the impact of this prophecy on many generations is evident. Eli, a long-standing Judge, has tipped over and died. His sons, who were high priests, were also slaughtered. Additionally, his daughter-in-law dies during childbirth, leaving his grandson, Ichabod, orphaned. The repercussions are not limited to the family alone - 37,000 families have lost their sons, brothers, fathers, and husbands. The spiritual dismay of Israel, a result of the loss of their high priests, is also significant. Furthermore, there is a looming fear of complete destruction as the glory of God has departed from the Tabernacle in Israel. If you are a father or grandfather and you are reading this with me today, I hope you feel compelled to step up your game because your spiritual apathy affects others. Like Eli, you can sit around, get old, blind, and fat, and become apathetic in your old age. Or you can get into the spiritual game and start doing something. My life was changed by a grandfather who refused to sit around in apathy in his old age. In his retirement, he taught me manners, self-care, and chivalry. He gave me driving lessons, taught me a work ethic, and demonstrated how to love, give, and forgive. He spiritually mentored me when I was desperate for a male role model. He tabernacled his life around my needs and then told me about a man who tabernacled his life on this earth to redeem my soul. The Word became flesh and dwelt [tabernacled] among us, and we have seen his glory. — John 1:14. Through Jesus, where there was no glory [Ichabod], glory was revealed. Fathers and grandfathers, start fulfilling your duty to reveal God's glory today before it's too late. #RevealGodsGlory #SpiritualLeadership #FromIchabodToImmanuel Ask This: In what areas of your life do you see signs of spiritual apathy creeping in, and what steps can you take to actively cultivate a deeper connection with God? Reflecting on the legacy of Eli and his family, how can you ensure that your actions today positively impact future generations spiritually, especially as a father or grandfather figure? Do This: Step Up Your Game. Pray This: Father, help me to recognize and overcome any spiritual apathy in my life, so that I may faithfully reveal Your glory in all that I do. Empower me to lead with wisdom and love, leaving a legacy that honors You and blesses future generations. Amen. Play This: Here Comes the Glory of the Lord.

Your sin can become a national crisis. Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. This week, we are reading 1 Samuel 4. I've titled this chapter "Misusing Divine Power." In the first few verses of Chapter 4, we discover that the Israelites were at war with the Philistines. They engaged in two battles sustaining devastating losses, first 7000 dead, then 30,000 dead, until the Philistines claimed victory, captured the Ark of God, and then sent the Israelites running. A man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head. When he arrived, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city and told the news, all the city cried out. When Eli heard the sound of the outcry, he said, “What is this uproar?” Then the man hurried and came and told Eli. — 1 Samuel 4:12-14 This is a tragic moment for Israel. In a short devotional, it's tough to capture how devastated God's people might have felt. The unnamed Benjamite makes the 20-mile run retreating from the battle and shows up wearing all the signs of a man in mourning “with his clothes torn and dirt on his head.” The only way to capture the feeling of this moment is to imagine that you receive a call in the next few moments that your spouse or child was killed and then multiply it by 37,000. That's the message this man delivered to this city: 37,000 souls lost on the field of battle, including sons, husbands, and fathers. But let's not forget that all of this stemmed from the apathy of one man. Eli, the last in a long line of Judges, allowed his sons to continue to act in disobedience until finally, they did the unthinkable. They took the Ark of the Covenant from the House of the Lord into battle, which led to slaughter. Disobedient actions concern God, but so does disobedient inaction. Eli had plenty of time to deal with his sons' disobedience, but he didn't. He was apathetic. He took no action, and his inaction was counted as disobedience. This devious sin had devastating consequences for him, his family, his legacy, and 37,000 families who were also impacted. Listen carefully: your sin never only affects you. Disobedient action and disobedient inaction have consequences for everyone. Here's the application. Don't be spiritually apathetic to God today. Address your secret sin and stop hiding it. Address the issue in your marriage that you still need to address. Address your child who is acting in sin. Move from disobedient inaction into obedient action and rally those around you to godly action. If you keep putting it off, that situation will have the same devastating consequences in your life as it did to Eli, his family, and the nation of Israel because your apathy never affects only you; it affects everyone around you.

Malachi prophesied to God's people after they had returned to Israel from exile in Babylon. His message was one of caution and warning. Back in their homeland, the people were finally comfortable again and spiritual apathy began to settle in their hearts. Through Malachi, God addresses Israel's indifference and unfaithfulness to him. Join Groundwork as we study the profound words of Malachi and witness how out-of-sync life can get when we go through the motions of faith without investing our hearts. We'll learn from his warnings against spiritual apathy and his encouragement to examine our hearts, and discover how our faithfulness to God impacts our lives and our communities. Together, let's explore how the timeless wisdom of Malachi can illuminate our faith and transform our worship today.

God's purpose in all this was to use the church to display his wisdom in its rich variety to all the unseen rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. Ephesians 3:10 NLT   You are citizens along with all of God's holy people. You are members of God's family. Ephesians 2:19 NLT   See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don't recognize that we are God's children because they don't know him. 1 John 3:1 NLT   'But Christ, as the Son, is in charge of God's entire house. And we are God's house, if we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ. Hebrews 3:6 NLT   Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ's body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. Romans 12:4-5 NLT   The scriptures are very clear that church is not something you are intended just to attend and receive from, but something you are designed to contribute to for the well-being of others!   You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God's word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food. Hebrews 5:12 NLT   Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2 NLT Physical needs. Safety needs. Love needs. Esteem needs. Cognitive needs. Aesthetic needs. Self-actualization needs. So those who are last now will be first then, and those who are first will be last. Matthew 20:16 NLT   Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant… Matthew 20:20 NLT   For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many. Matthew 20:28 NLT   'I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. Now that you know these things, God will bless you for doing them. John 13:15,17 NLT   'Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20 NLT   1. Self-Centered Discipleship   “It's only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it; if you do, you will die.'” “You won't die!” the serpent replied to the woman. “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.” The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too. Genesis 3:3-6 NLT   At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?” Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God. ” John 6:66-69 NLT   According to Jesus, discipleship is not about self-actualization or self-preservation; it is about self-denial.   'Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.” Matthew 16:24-25 NLT   2. Spiritual Apathy   11 Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. 12 Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. 13 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13 NLT   Ministry is the pathway to maturity and many Christians will never obtain maturity until they travel the path of ministry.   How Do I Make A Disciple?   Discipleship is not difficult; it's just proximity over an extended period of time with a purpose.   And He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach…Mark 3:14 (NASB)     “There is simply NO substitute for getting with people and it is ridiculous to imagine that anything less, short of a miracle, can develop strong Christian leadership. After all, if Jesus, the Son of God, found it necessary to stay almost constantly with his few disciples for 3 yrs, and even one of them was lost, how can a church expect to do this job on an assembly line basis a few days out of the year?” Quote from The Master Plan Evangelism   You didn't choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit…John 15:16 (NLT)   “When will we realize that evangelism is not done by something, but by someone? . . . It's not better methods, but better men and women who know their Redeemer from personal experience…who see his vision and feel his passion for the world…who are willing to be nothing so that he might be everything.” Quote from The Master Plan Evangelism

Apathy is a word meaning "lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern."  Spiritually-speaking, it is a dangerous road to go down.  There may be seasons in which we feel a pull towards apathy in our lives.  Left unchecked, we can succumb to a number of things.  But if we recognize those seasons, what are some ways we can be spurred on to grow in Christ?  Today's episode outlines some ideas and practical steps that can help us avoid or pull out of apathy.  The bottom line is also addressed:  apathy stems from a place of loneliness and that loneliness is birthed in a lack of intimacy.  So if we are apathetic, it follows that our intimacy with the Lord is not where it should be.

Scripture doesn't authorize you to slack off and coast into heaven. “Since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles [maybe self-pity] and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us” (Heb 12:1). Your spiritual life is an intentional lifestyle. It requires fidelity. Here is a warning. “But I have this against you, that you left your first love” (Rev 2:1-4). Your personal love for God is your motivation to finish the race spiritually strong. Without some spiritual muscle, you will be crushed by circumstances in life. It's easy to get discouraged, especially as you get older. But this is when you can be the strongest spiritually, when under pressure. “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness” (2 Cor 12:9-10). Paul discovered that as his human abilities diminished, he relied on God more. Infirmities give you opportunities. You'll either be bitter about your condition or realize you have more of a privilege to glorify God. Spiritual growth should never end.

In this episode, our host Elizabeth Urbanowicz grapples with the challenging question of how to engage a child who is increasingly disinterested in the things of God. How can we cultivate our child's affection toward God? Don't miss this episode on how to respond to a hard-hearted child.

Do you have a child who is cold or apathetic when it comes to spiritual things? They don't like to pray. They get annoyed if you try to have family Bible time. They refuse to go to church. They show little or no repentance when they do things wrong. All of these are signs of spiritual apathy. In today's episode, Dr. Rob and Amy Rienow talk about one of the common reasons for spiritual apathy in children and what parents can do to help. To get more help with this parenting challenge we encourage you to get a copy of Rob and Amy's book: Five Reasons for Spiritual Apathy in Teens: https://visionaryfam.com/shop/five-reasons-for-spiritual-apathy-in-teens/

Children and teens can face serious issues with depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harm, addiction, and more. Helping children in crisis requires the family to have a team mindset. In this episode, Dr. Rob and Amy Rienow encourage parents and grandparents to think and act like a team in order to support a child who is doing through a dark time. Families also need to be willing to enter “recovery mode” to support a child who has experienced trauma.

What does it take to help children who are in crisis? Children and teens can face serious issues with depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harm, addiction, and more. In this episode, Dr. Rob and Amy Rienow encourage parents and grandparents to avoid the “fix the kid” mindset and instead approach a child crisis as if it were a family crisis. When a child is hurting it all hands on deck. Families need to adopt the marine mindset of “no man left behind.” Check out these additional resources to strengthen your family in times of crisis: Visionary Parenting: https://visionaryfam.com/shop/visionary-parenting/ Five Reasons for Spiritual Apathy in Teens: https://visionaryfam.com/shop/five-reasons-for-spiritual-apathy-in-teens/ Healing Family Relationships: https://visionaryfam.com/shop/healing-family-relationships/

While there is significant movement of the Holy Spirit, there is no denying that the majority of people still fall into one of two categories regarding that..either apathy or antipathy. The question then becomes how do missional people truly work with how the Holy Spirit is working?

Have you ever experienced times where you just didn't feel like praying? Maybe you go through phases where reading your Bible is boring or you just don't have the energy to read another devotional. God Hears Her hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy have had those moments too. Join them in this conversation to talk about what spiritual apathy is and how we can overcome it on this episode of God Hears Her.   Notes and Quotes:  Sometimes I don't feel like praying, and don't feel a desire or experience a drivenness into His spirit. There are times when the spiritual “blahs” take over.—Elisa When do the spiritual blahs hit us? The more I become secure in my circumstances.—Eryn I'm doing what I do,  then if I do a—“oh, God's here”—my spiritual eyes open to something and suddenly that very moment which was a little apathetic becomes a “Pow! Wow!”—Elisa “Can I just see You today? Give me the eyes and ears to see You today.” I want to do that more, where I'm just recognizing the little things I see. I want to call it out when I see it versus let it go by me.—Eryn Even if he doesn't do the things I hope for, the journey and intimacy of me expressing and being vulnerable and trusting prepares me either way for the response of what I'm hoping for.—Eryn When we open Scripture, we can open our spiritual ears and remind ourselves God is talking to me. What can I get out of this today?—Elisa   Verses:  Romans 8:38  Revelation 3:16    Links:  God Hears Her website: https://www.godhearsher.org/ God Hears Her newsletter sign-up: https://www.godhearsher.org/signup Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Reclaim Today Article: https://reclaimtoday.org/how-to-see-god/ God Hears Her 100th episode God Hears Her tote: https://www.godhearsher.org/shop Elisa's Instagram: elisa morgan author Eryn's Instagram: eryneddy
