This is a very real condition that I'm glad was brought up. I personally flutter in and out of obediance, even during the course of the day. I would say from my own experience, that the cure is self-examination, faith, and action.Look at yourself from outside of your reality. Imagine there were a camera on you for one full day. If someone were to watch you during these 24 hours, and compare you to the Scriptures, would they believe that you were a Christian or not. Secondly, understand, just as when you were born again, that you are a sinner desperately in need of a cleansing that only Jesus can bring. Know that God loves you regardless, but your carelessness of the lost is nothing more than laziness, and cheapness on your part. You are being greedy with the grace of God. Repent.Third, you must change something, even if it is small, in your routine. Step out of your comfort zone in some area of your life, ie: -Pray longer, and not in routine, but just beg God that He would crack you out of the rut you are in. Try tears, or praying out loud, if you can't muster this up, pound on the ground. Know that He may not work the change immediately, but the next day, or over time.-Get into the Scriptures. If reading through them like a book bores you, don't stop, but add to your reading a random opening of the pages and read a few verses. Sometimes this will open a fresh breeze of words that will hit you right where you are.-Determine to speak to someone about Christ, and try to expose yourself to as much teaching as is reasonable on the subject. Find the most godly soulwinner that you can be accountable to. Tell this person your sin problems and pray for one another.-Get rid of sin in your life. If something is doubtful, give it up. Even if it takes you several months, and habits only go one at a time, still get rid of them. If you are content that you already have, give something up for the sake of Christ; a meal now and then, an activity that makes you lazy, a hobby that takes away from time that could be spent doing one of the above, or that could be spent doing something that would glorify God, or make you a better witness.Know that I am speaking to myself with this. Though I often go for long periods without witnessing to people, I use this formula to get back into evangelism. I know from failing God so often, that there is no substitute for prayer, Bible, and obediance. It is no wonder Jesus called his 12 'disciples.' It takes discipline to be a soulwinner.These lyrics by Keith Green are gut-wrenching. The rest of the song is just as cutting:Do you see...Do you see all the people sinking down?Don't you care, don't you care?Are you gonna' let them drown?How can you be so numb, not to care if they come?You close your eyes and pretend the job's done.'-Asleep in the Light
