Episode 33: Seven: The Seven Deadly Sins of Ministry- Sloth
1. The Sluggard Loves Sleep: “A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man” (Proverbs 6:10–11).
2. The Sluggard Makes Excuses: “The sluggard says, ‘There is a lion outside! I shall be killed in the streets” (Pro. 22:13)!
3. The Sluggard Procrastinates: “The sluggard does not plow in the autumn; he will seek at harvest and have nothing” (Pro. 20:4).
4. The Sluggard is Self-Deceived: “Lazy people consider themselves smarter than seven wise counselors” (Pro. 26:16 NLT).
5. The Sluggard is a Destructive Force: “I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of a man lacking sense, and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns; the ground was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down” (Proverbs 24:30–31).
The consequences of being a sluggard are plenteous. He will lose his job, be unemployed and broke (Pro. 6:11; 10:4; 15:19; 19:15; 20:13). The sluggard will have nothing but regrets of failures, missed opportunities, and unfulfilled ambitions (Pro. 21:25-26).
