Sunday School lesson yesterday was on "Slothfulness"... Not a hot topic usually in the theological realm but it does make for interesting thoughts....Especially in Sunday School...
Slothfulness is another word for LAZY...How can one be lazy in the church you ask??? By just sitting soaking and souring......That's why you have people who complain all the time about something in the church.... They are focused on what the church can do for me or what can the church give to me..whether physically or spiritually...
Amy Grant sang about people like this back in the day with the song. "Fat Baby or Fat Babies" They just sit waiting for their "bottle" then leave... Never growing up in Christ but just sitting drinking from their bottle "fat and happy" as long as everything is going their way....When it doesn't they are like "babies" crying and whining to anyone who will listen...
Don't see a piece of paper on the floor at church and say someone needs to pick that up... Pick it up yourself! Do something... get involved with Jesus' work!
Paul tells us, "We hear that some among you are idle. They are not busy; but are busybodies. Such people we command and URGE in the name of Jesus to settle down and earn the bread they eat. And as for you brothers never tire of doing what is right. " II Thessalonians 3:11 - 13
Prayer of the Day: Jesus help me to get involved with Your work.
Keep Lookin' Up!
Brian
