Apathetic Christians?

Broken down.
Falling deeper and deeper into the hole that we've dug for ourselves.
Unable to get out.
Rescue us! We cry, just as long as we can stay here.
Let us see! Just as long as we can remain blind to the hurting in this world.
Set us free! As long as we may keep our comfortable chains.
Where are we going? No wait! We're content in our ignorance.
We're unsatisfactorily satisfied with with where we are and who we are inside.
We want to escape but don't know how or where to go.
There's something scary about the truth.
We just know that we need to get out of here.
Too content to hang on to our insufficiency's.
Refusing to relinquish the fears of yesterday and ashes of tomorrow.
Save us from our complacency!
Who are we? This won't do!
What seperates us from you?
Shouldn't there be something making a difference? What's the difference?

We say we're free, but the chains of captivity are still around our wrists.
We claim to be saved, and if we believe in Him we are, but when we're asked to be selfless we start throwing fits.
This is not the case of stolen identity, just a lost identity.
Who have we become?
The menacing beast has fallen, why do we still cower in fear?
The victory is won, yet when we stop looking in the mirror we promptly forget what we look like.
Why are we still living like life has no meaning?
What happened to the passion? The joy? The delight?
The justice? Discipline? Holding to God's word?
Why have we lost our hold on the truth?
Turned our backs on Christ?
Seek first the kingdom! The Savior! The face of God!
Love him with all of your being, your neighbor like yourself.
Elemental my friends......I'm a hyporcite.
