Sloth

Title: SLOTH

Joshua 9:14-16

“Sloth is excessive laziness and indifference toward physical or spiritual work.”

Deuteronomy 6:4-12

Sloth DISTRACTS me from my focus.

Sloth is content to aim us toward either apathy or fanaticism.
ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT THE TARGET IS WORTHLESS.

Sloth DIRECTS me toward failure.

There is no Comfort in the Growth Zone.
There is no Growth in the Comfort Zone.

Sloth DENIES me of my future.

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?

LIFE IS NOT MEANT TO BE LIVED ALONE. YOU WERE CREATED TO EXPERIENCE LIFE WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
