Religious Tryptophan

A food coma is coming.  Somewhere across the country in the immediate future, some husband, father, brother, wife, mother, or sister will consume a Thanksgiving Feast and immediately discuss the wonder of the meal and how tryptophan has made them sleepy.  For those unaware of this glorious amino acid, it exists in many things and is extremely important in the human diet.  However in large doses, it can cause drowsiness and is even prescribed at time as a sleep aid (in its non-turkey form.)  And while turkey does not have an excessively high level of the substance contrary to popular belief, the high levels of consumption on Thanksgiving can contribute to the feelings of lethargy that so often accompany the large meal.  Sometimes I wonder if the church (the universal church, not any one particular church) has consumed too much religious tryptophan.  It would seem to be the case as we have grown decidedly lethargic regarding the condition of our own lives and even more so about the condition of the world around us. 
Please understand that I am not speaking of the political climate, I fully expect politicians to be politicians.  I am not speaking of the moral climate either.  I know that the world is going to get worse before Christ returns.  This has always been the case as demonstrated in the story of Noah.  I trust that God will judge the world for their immorality. 
The lethargy that I am speaking of relates to the gospel.  We have been tasked as the church to take the gospel into the world in which we live.  We do this by speech and by action.  But the present day church seems to do so little of both.  We expect that our pastor will share the gospel, the deacons will share the gospel, the other people more spiritual than I will certainly share the gospel.  And so we sit quietly, not speaking gospel, not enacting gospel.  And we forget the challenge of 1 Peter 5:8-9.
"Be of sober spirit, BE ON THE ALERT.  Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour.  But resist him, firm in your faith . . ." (NASB, emphasis mine)
Note the call to be on alert.  And the motivation for our alertness is that the devil is always actively seeking someone to devour.  And we must resist him.  We must resist him actively, fighting his influence in our lives at every opportunity.  I think the number one way that Satan battles us as believers is to cause us to forget that there is urgency.  He doses us with religious tryptophan so that we sit idle while our neighbors go to Hell.  We sit idle while our co-workers continue down the path to Hell. 
Please understand the spirit in which this is written.  I am as guilty of this religious coma as anybody, and am writing this to myself most of all.  I need to wake up.  I need to be ready at all times to give reason for the hope within.  I need to be alert.  I need to recognize the penalty for my silence and apathy - people will not hear the gospel.  And they cannot respond to the gospel unless they hear the gospel.  And they cannot hear the gospel unless someone goes and speaks it to them.  So I need a shot of Godly adrenaline to counter the effects of the religious tryptophan I have consumed. Do you?
