Mark: Why Bother?

There is an attitude that is becoming more prevalent among Christians. It might be called the why-bother-attitude. Can’t change the way that I am, so why bother. Can’t really get along with my neighbor, or school-mate or family so why bother. There are so many people not going to church so why bother. This attitude defeats, deflates, and demoralizes. We see it in our lesson, but notice Jesus’ response.
