Apathy:
We know that Jesus was not apathetic nor submissive to the unjust irrational use of authority. He often publicly pointed out injustice or hypocrisy, and frequently irriated or even enraged 'the power that be.'
SAME SEX MARRIAGE:
In California we have Propostion 8. A 'YES' vote will repeal our current laws which allow same sex marriage. By voting yes it will ban same sex marriages and return back to where it was in the first place, between man and woman.
Massachusetts was the first to embrace same sex marriage. The 'NO' on 8 campaign want gay marriage, under the guise of 'diversity,' taught in public schools, they believe it is important to teach it at the earliest possible age. Massachusettes begins its diversity education to five year old children in kindergarden.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS: A first grade public school class in San Francisco was taken on a field trip to a lesbian wedding at city hall, officiated by the mayor. School officials said they wished to provide their five and six year old students a 'teachable moment'?
Where is the outrage by Christian leaders in this community!Furthermore, where is the outrage by the parents of these children!
Apathy?

ABORTION:
Too many people whose opinions you would ordinarily respect are caught up in the promise of pro-abortion Sen Barrack Obama that they refuse to face facts. Or, more specifically, they soft soap the grim reality that Obama is the most anti-life presidential canidate to run since Roe vs Wade was laid on the shoulders of unborn babies.
Obama is like an instrument that vibrates in sympathetic harmony with the abortion establishment. While you know that litany, unfortunately only a tiny percentage of the American public is aware of his abysmal record.
They don't know Obama's support for taxpayer funding of abortion, which increases the number of dead babies. They don't know that he approves of abortionists not notifying parents even when they are performing an abortion on a minor girl from another state.
Where is the outrage by Christian leaders! What meaningful doctrine has organized religion offered on this subject!
Apathy?

WHAT IS APATHY?
The God of the Scriptures is a holy God, terrifying in greatness... utterly awesome in wisdom... who transcends human understanding. Our problem is - the tendency to reduce this God of glory to more manageable proportions; we trivialize God, and make Him into our own image. We want to re-fashion God, to make Him fit our expections and serve our desires. We want to invent our own projects for our purposes, and then sign God on as a junior partner.
We have lost a sense of awe before God. We want to do whatever we want to do, and then call upon God to help us... to justify us and serve us and make us happy.
We have imprisoned God within the structure we have built for Him so that we may live however we want to live, then when we are confronted with some portion of truth or law or some rebuke to awaken us our reply is, 'Well God wants me to be happy!' Well, God wants us to be happy, but the happiness he desires for us is spiritual, and it is based on holiness, not the flesh.
