Why Don’t We Care Like Jesus Calls Us to Care?

· We feel helpless to make a change.

Overcoming Apathy
Consistently expose yourself to something that creates a righteous discomfort.

Channeling Your Passion
1) Focus on something.
2) Embrace what hurts.

May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain in to joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.

The best way to apply the weekly message is to talk it over and think about it during the rest of the week. Here are a few questions to get you started:
1) If apathetic is a 1 and enthusiastic is a 10, where do you rate yourself on the scale when it comes to helping others?
2) What brings you righteous discomfort? What keeps you from turning it into a fiercely righteous passion?
3) What step will you take to focus on something and join those who are doing something about it?
