There is no Comfort in the Growth Zone.
There is no Growth in the Comfort Zone.
Sloth DENIES me of my future.
Questions for Reflection:
Sloth is content to aim us toward either apathy or fanaticism, both of which are worthless targets. What are some reasons leading you to make decisions that lead to these results?
Sloth slides into our lives more easily and unannounced than any of the other deadly sins. What are the questions you can routinely ask yourself to identify and catch it before it takes root?
Sloth deadens the spiritual senses so we become slow to respond to God and then drift completely into the sleep of complacency. Zeal is the energetic opposing virtue and response to the deadly sin of sloth. What are some steps you’ll take to turn from Sloth and choose Zeal in your life?
