Laziness

 (ID: 2279)

A life of ease and relaxation is the ideal our culture promotes. But does God’s Word support such an attitude? Looking to the wisdom of Proverbs, Alistair Begg identifies the sinful characteristics and behaviors of a lazy person. The fall into indolence may cause us to stray from God’s plan for our work, relationships, and communion with Him. By steadfastly nurturing all areas of life, however, we will grow closer to becoming the followers God intends for us to be.
