Slothfulness: Why Christians Must Choose Diligence Over Comfort
Slothfulness is more than sleeping late or avoiding work. It can begin with procrastination, excuses and a desire for comfort that keeps us from meeting our responsibilities to God and other people. Drawing from Proverbs, Romans and other Bible passages, this message explains how laziness can make us slow to start, unwilling to finish, quick to make excuses and unable to pursue spiritual growth. It also warns that a person can be busy yet still become spiritually indifferent. The lesson calls us to learn from the ant, practise self-discipline and replace apathy with love in action. Rest is necessary, but comfort becomes a problem when it prevents us from serving, persevering and doing what is right.
