Title: Checked-Out Checkup (15 of 66)

Text: Hebrews 5:11-14
Today is going to entail a spiritual checkup. As chapter 5 of Hebrews continues, the writer addresses those who have somewhat "checked out" spiritually. So, I've labeled the message, "Checked-Out Checkup."
Checked-Out is an interesting phrase. We use it at the grocery store, the hotel, or the big-box discount store. These days you have the self-check-out lane where you serve as your own clerk.

That lady had "checked out" in more ways than one. But Webster's online dictionary lists a number of synonyms for this phrase. And other than the idea of paying for a bill at a store, the idea of being "checked out" is not very positive.
Decease, die, drop, demise, expire, flat-line, walk away, croak. But it also references someone who is apathetic, disinterested, and unengaged.
