Week 7: Complacency Within and Indifference Without

Spiritual complacency is a state of indifference or lack of enthusiasm in one's spiritual life. It often results when a person (or congregation) becomes too comfortable in their current spiritual state. The desire to gain deeper understanding, growth, or commitment has waned. This attitude can manifest itself through the routine practice of religious activities without genuine engagement. It can also be revealed through the neglect of reflecting on and applying biblical teachings in daily life. Finally, it is also seen in our becoming self-satisfied without recognition of the need for further spiritual development.
