The Game of Life
“Apathy”
John 10:10, John 20:30,31

What robs people of “life to the full?”
1.	Lack of forgiveness
2.	Greed
3.	False assumptions
4.	Lack of self-control
5.	Apathy

What is apathy that robs people like? (Exodus 7:14-16, 22, 23)
•	Indifference - Pharaoh would not listen
•	Detachment - Pharaoh was unyielding
•	Callousness - Pharaoh hardens his heart

God’s presence seems unreal to those who practice apathy.

Apathy must be confronted.

What does the practice of God’s presence do?
•	It centers life (Revelation 4-5)
o	Micah 3:9-12, 6:6-8
o	Jeremiah 28
o	Jesus in Gethsemane 

What is the practice of God’s presence?
•	It is a speaking/listening relationship with God (Revelation 4-5)
o	The four living creatures saying… “God, You are first” (Revelation 4:8)
o	The 24 elders saying… “God, You create” (Revelation 4:11)
o	The 4 living creatures and the 24 elders saying… “Jesus, You redeem (Revelation 5:9-10)
o	The 10,000x10,000 angels saying… “Jesus, You will win” (Revelation 5:12)
o	All creatures saying… “Godhead, You last” (Revelation 5:13)

If you practice a speaking, listening relationship with God now and want Him near, then Heaven will be welcome.

The four living creatures saying…
“Amen” (Revelation 5:14)
