depraved indifference

The special ones in God’s kingdom are the weak ones...

Jesus says,

“Those are the prized ones. You treat them as they’re royalty here on Earth. And the way you treat them is ultimately the way you treat me.”


Christianity is taking what has been purchased by the cross, the behavior of Heaven, the nature of Jesus Christ, and transplanting it into the heart of men and women down here on Earth, so that they behave—not like this world—but like Heaven.

And so when this world sees them, they’re different.

There is something odd about them.

They’re from a different realm.


What does it look like?

It’s noble.

It’s brave.

It’s courageous.

It’s selfless.

It is willing to spend itself for the weak.


God's looking to us.

He’s saying,

“I’m calling up everyone I know. Everyone on my list that calls himself by my name—that says they’re a friend of God… and I’m saying… are you willing?”


We have a cause, but we don’t want to see it.

I suffer from depraved indifference,

and so do you.

He says,
“Remember, you call yourself my body.

I’m not there, except through you.
Your hands—those are my hands.
Your feet—those are my feet.
That heart—It’s my heart.
If it’s not beating, my heart’s not beating on this Earth anymore.
I work through my body.
I’m a father to the fatherless through my body.
I rescue the weak and the vulnerable through you,

and if you’re not doing it, no one is."


There is a solution for our disease, which is known as sin,

and it’s Jesus Christ.

There is a solution for these dying children,

and it’s Jesus Christ.

Because Jesus Christ will change a man...

into a man that feels what Jesus Christ is feeling.

Heroes are made because they are moved—not in their head, but in their heart.
Jesus Christ was moved.
‘For God so loved the world that He gave,’
and that Son that was given suffered and died.
For what?
For the cause that is being laid before us tonight…

It was life abandonment unto the cause of those that are dying, unto the eternal souls that are around us.

Do we care at the level God cares? Do we carry a burden?

Jesus was burdened with the weight of it all for life, and he was willing to sweat great droplets of blood.

Are we?

For our King and His glory, we will rescue these little ones.
