“There
is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end, it leads to death”
Proverbs
14:12
I'm personally frightened by procrastination and laziness…
I’m
more frightened by not using whatever abilities I've been given.

The Deadly Sin of SLOTH
Matt
25:14-30 – Note:
The Master is concerned with HOW the servants handle themselves when it came to
WHAT THEY DID with the talents.
The Sin of SLOTH is something that directly affects how we will
experience the Kingdom of God and how we will engage the Mission of His Kingdom!
SLOTH can be a form of LAZINESS, but it can also describe the
choices we make with what we have been given…HOW we choose to focus our
efforts.
God knows us better than we know ourselves. He bestows on us
different responsibilities – different gifts – different talents and skills –
But, He also expects us to use those skills. He expects us to take what we have
been given and use them in a way that benefits the overall Kingdom. They come
with responsibilities attached!
Vs 21 & 23 Sharing in the Master’s Happiness is found when we are faithful
with the things he entrusts to us! As we grow closer to Him… we KNOW HIS HEART!
The solution to SLOTH is to continue growing closer to Jesus! To
know His heart! To ACT in response to it!
1 Cor. 13:11 – Put away the OLD WAY of doing things. ACT in a way that shows
we are growing in our understanding of Christ!
Love God…. Care for One Another… No matter the cost!
Don’t be LAZY… “Just Do It!”
