Apathy: Relationship Killer

God is intentionally relational by nature and we are made in his image. He created you and me to have a relationship based upon love with us.  Apathy is a silent relationship killer. Apathy happens in part because relationships are hard; we forget our God-given relational DNA (made in his image); and we’re just too busy.

Over the course of one chapter (Mark 5) Jesus counters apathy by stepping into hard relationships, adding value where value was only taken away, and surrenders his time to look after and minister to relationships that matter. If we were analyzing Jesus’ model of engagement we could break it down to these principles: [1] Be intentional, [2] Add value, [3] Invest your time (quantity & quality) and heart.
