Bible Question: I am looking for a passage of scripture that talks about the spirit of apathy when it comes to the way we live our lives. I need a way biblically to back up that we have become desensitized today that we don't even realize that Satan is behind things. Thanks, prayon

Bible Answer: Check out Proverbs 1:32-33! I'm not sure that these suggest that Satan is behind our complacency, but we can be sure that God is NOT! I think that all too often we blame the devil for what just comes naturally! Can Eve blame Satan?

I might suggest that our desensitization arises from our own sin nature - which Romans 1 addresses. Satan just uses this to his advantage when he tempts us!

BTW, I used Biblegateway and input the words complacency, complacent, indifference etc in NIV and MSG translations to find these verses.
