Are you creating apathy?

Apathy...there's a lot of it in our world today. If I'm honest, sometimes there's a lot of apathy in my own heart and life.

Despite a culture of apathy, I'm almost positive that there aren't too many of you that want your children to have an "apathetic" outlook toward the world...especially to the things of God. But as I look around the suburbs of Dallas, I see a whole bunch of spiritual apathy. There are some days that my heart aches for kids (especially teenagers) who have a major case of "spiritual apathy." Here's some ways you can create spiritual apathy in your kids (consider it the "don't do" list).


"5 Keys to Making Your Kids Apathetic About Faith:
  1. Put academic pursuits above faith-building activities.
  2. Chase the gold ball first and foremost.
  3. Teach your kid that the dollar is almighty.
  4. Refuse to acknowledge that the primary motivating force in kids’ lives is relationship.
  5. Model apathy in your own life."
