Content To Remain Complacent

I've been helping in a 3rd grade class. I am constantly consternated at the kids' apathy, and their complete lack of any desire to take advantage of the wonderful opportunities to learn that are available to them. This makes me think of The Church. Are we so foolish as to be content with mediocrity and lukewarmness when we have so many opportunities to get to know and love our God better? Are we content to get in to Heaven by the skin of our teeth? Do we want to do only the bare minimum?
