“He who is slothful in his work Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer.”

Proverbs 18:9

 

Do we remember that laziness is a sin? Are you a lazy Christian? It’s something we do not think much about in our daily life but the bible is very clear about it:

1 Timothy 5:8

“But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”

Proverbs 14:23

“In all labor there is profit,
But idle chatter leads only to poverty.”

Proverbs 19:15

“Laziness casts one into a deep sleep,
And an idle person will suffer hunger.”

More about laziness here Laziness in proverbs and an excellent article here Can the gospel free someone from laziness?

May God have mercy on us, sinners and give us the strength to fight sin in our lives.
