“Many shepherds will ruin my vineyard and trample down my field; they will turn my pleasant field into a desolate wasteland. It will be made a wasteland, parched and desolate before me; the whole land will be laid waste, because there is no one who cares” (Jeremiah 12:10-11).
This dramatic Bible verse comes from the Book of Jeremiah, the longest book of the Bible.

Known as the “weeping prophet” for the content of his writing, Jeremiah is believed to have died in 570 B.C., notes the website Bible Study Tools.
Born into a priestly family in the town of Anathoth, located near Jerusalem, Jeremiah was “called as a prophet in the thirteenth year of the reign of King Josiah,” said Bible Study Tools.

He prophesied for about 40 years, said the site.
“Jeremiah witnessed, both in foresight and real time, the destruction of his people,” according to the same site.

“Upon Judah’s captivity, he penned the book of Lamentations, a highly poetic and devastatingly beautiful series of laments about the fall of God’s people.”
This verse is a reminder that complacency and laziness are not modern concepts, Rev. Edward B. Robinson told Fox News Digital.
Robinson is pastor of Oak Grove Baptist Church in Repton, Alabama.

“Complacency and laziness are rampant in our society,” said Robinson. “They can be traced back to the fall of humanity, when Eve and Adam chose to have a complacent attitude toward the commands which God had given to them.”

The concept of “not caring” appears throughout the Bible, said Robinson.

Making his way at last, after months of change and wandering, to the shores of Narragansett Bay, he there laid the foundation of the first state of modern times that in the fullest sense recognized the right of religious freedom. The fundamental principle of Roger Williams’s colony was “that every man should have liberty to worship God according to the light of his own conscience.”— Ibid., vol. 5, p. 354. His little state, Rhode Island, became the asylum of the oppressed, and it increased and prospered until its foundation principles—civil and religious liberty—became the cornerstones of the American Republic.

In that grand old document which our forefathers set forth as their bill of rights—the Declaration of Independence—they declared: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” And the Constitution guarantees, in the most explicit terms, the inviolability of conscience: “No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.” “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
“The framers of the Constitution recognized the eternal principle that man’s relation with his God is above human legislation, and his rights of conscience inalienable. Reasoning was not necessary to establish this truth; we are conscious of it in our own bosoms. It is this consciousness which, in defiance of human laws, has sustained so many martyrs in tortures and flames. They felt that their duty to God was superior to human enactments, and that man could exercise no authority over their consciences. It is an inborn principle which nothing can eradicate.”—Congressional documents (U.S.A.), serial No. 200, document No. 271. GC 295.1 – GC 295.3
“And it’s not always the obviously ‘bad’ people who don’t care,” he said. “Those who are in the household of faith struggle with that same sin of complacency and indifference.”
“Quite ironically, it is God’s people who have received his provision of grace who oftentimes choose to adopt the attitude of indifference,” he said.
“They step back and watch while the world wastes away.”

The Bible was held as the foundation of faith, the source of wisdom, and the charter of liberty. Its principles were diligently taught in the home, in the school, and in the church, and its fruits were manifest in thrift, intelligence, purity, and temperance. One might be for years a dweller in the Puritan settlement, “and not see a drunkard, or hear an oath, or meet a beggar.”—Bancroft, pt. 1, ch. 19, par. 25. It was demonstrated that the principles of the Bible are the surest safeguards of national greatness.

Jeremiah was not one of those people, noted Robinson.
“Wounded For Our Sakes, Pope Francis Has Heard Our Cries” What a blasphemous person “in the burning 🔥 bush”
“He doesn’t understand why the wicked of the land seem to prosper while God’s people suffer,” he said.
Pope Francis offered plenary indulgence, forgiveness of sins to those present and those dead watching
“God” graciously provided for them and forgave them time after time, and yet they have rebelled against him.”

One of the main points of this rebellion was the “spiritual indifference” the people displayed toward God.
“They simply did not care,” said Robinson.
He added, “For the moment, the wicked seem to prosper. And Jeremiah doesn’t prosper. He is God’s appointed prophet.”
Despite being God’s prophet, Jeremiah “is hurting because he is suffering as the wicked prosper. And he is hurting because God tells him that there will be more pain to come because the people whom he has chosen to love so deeply have chosen not to care.”
This verse serves as a lesson for both humanity as a whole and “for those who are blessed by God to be in his sacred household of faith,” said Robinson.

“Choosing to care is far more than having an emotional affection for a cause,” he said.
Said Robinson further, “In its purest form, choosing to care is about asking God to enable us to see the world through his eyes.”
“Choosing to care is about understanding that if we are Christians, we are the hands and feet of Jesus Christ — and if caring cost him his very life, then we should be willing to pay any price as we march forward to convey to the world that we care about our Lord and his gospel of grace.”View comments
