COMATOSE CHRISTIANS

The phrase resting on one's laurels describes a person who is content with past accomplishments and does nothing to improve. When that complacency is applied to one's faith, it leads to 'spiritual stagnation'. 

When the Bible gathers dust out of neglect; when a once intimate prayer life now consists of brief worshipless solicitations; when Jesus Christ, whose sacrificial love used to humble you, no longer moves the needle ... revival needs to take place. 

The Lord is ready and willing to renew your zeal ...  For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite. (Isaiah 57:15)

Christianity is not a spectator sport. There are no rewards or passes for the 'spiritually lazy'. It requires diligence and perseverance.

But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. (James 1:25)

Your 'spiritual work ethic' filters into your 'everyday work ethic'. The unsaved world is watching how you do your job. Your conduct at work serves as a silent, yet powerful, testimony of your faith ...

And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. (Colossians 3:23-24)

Comatose Christians have an irregular, shallow 'heartbeat' and are ill-equipped to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
