One of the biggest dangers of our modern culture today is that our everyday can lull us into a false sense of security – we go with the flow but don’t realise we are drifting slowly, but surely, in the wrong direction. Here are some Bible verses and quotes to reflect on and be challenged by so we can be intentional and proactive in how we live out our lives in Christ.

1. "We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away." - Hebrews 2:1 (NIV)

2. "Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain." - A.W. Tozer

3. "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm - neither hot nor cold - I am about to spit you out of my mouth." - Revelation 3:15-18 (NIV)

4. "We must allow the Word of God to confront us, to disturb our security, to undermine our complacency and to overthrow our patterns of thought and behaviour." - John Stott

5. "People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated." - D.A. Carson

6. "Our primary problem as Christian women is not that we lack self-worth, not that we lack a sense of significance. It's that we lack awe." - Jen Wilkin

Overcome Complacency at OneLove 2024!

Our lives are shaped by routine – from workplaces to home life, from fitness classes to even church services. With this, the beauty of the gospel risks becoming over-familiar, leading to complacency and indifference. Despite our best efforts to reignite the passion we once had, time and time again we find ourselves slipping back into our schedules, where our faith becomes just another part of our daily lives. I wonder if you know this cycle well?

OneLove24 will be an opportunity to pause, to reflect and rediscover the sheer joy of being known and loved by the Father. Through songs, shared stories and Biblical talks, we will seek to know Him better, his boundless Love for us and the joy that it brings. Our prayer is that you’ll leave the conference with a fresh view of what it means to be a child of God and how it shapes everything you do. We hope you will join us!
