indifference to Revival -- part 1


Indifference.  It is not always nor necessarily offensive.  One can be indifferent to any number of things, without detriment either to oneself or to others.  One may be indifferent to how it is that birds can fly, without harming either birds or oneself.  Indifference, in principle, is not immoral.  But when one's attitude and behavior towards something needful and important may be characterized as indifferent, such an one may be guilty of gross sin and may indeed cause much harm by reason of his or her indifference.

Thus, questions related to the moral implications of indifference must be considered in relation to a given subject.  In the case at hand the subject is Revival.  Indifference to the need for Revival--especially, in the face of the great Apostasy of our time, is immoral, it is sinful, and it invariably results in serious harm to oneself and to others.

Remarkably, there is a certain, numerically large class of professing Christians, to whom the very notion of Revival is utterly meaningless--if it is not in fact repugnant.
