Moral Neutrality... is there a middle ground?

This quote is taken from a Sermon by Matt Chandler. He raises a good point and I have some questions for you.
"The majority of us lack depth in Christ, not because of bad/wicked things but rather, morally neutral things - things that scripture wouldn't outright call sinful, but we just have so much of them [the morally neutral things] in our lives that we've kind of drown out the voice of G-d, drown out time to be with Him, drown out...[insert something you have drown out]. So we just busy ourselves with morally neutral things and then we think we're DOING ALRIGHT, because we're not doing BAD."

My question, dear friends, is twofold: can to much of a morally neutral thing be eternally bad; and are there morally neutral things in your personal life that Christ is asking you to get rid of, or remove - things he just wants out, even though there is nothing evil about it?

Do we want to be "doing alright," or do we desire to have a deeper knowledge, love, hope - downright solid, relationship with Christ?!

Peace, Grace and Love in Him who is worthy of all praise.
