The Book of James commands us in our own Christian life to be "doers of the word" (1:22)--but Laziness is a sin that creeps under the door and eats away at not only our productivity but our spiritual lives, as God's workmanship authored that we would be created for good works (Eph 2:10), by which we would show the authenticity of our faith (Ja. 1:22). But idleness is the bane of this spiritual posture--just as "the sluggard says 'there is a lion outside! I shall be killed in the streets!'" (Prov 22:13), so our laziness tempts us with no creative end to the excuses it conjures, each less logical yet more alluring than the last.
So join us this week as we dissect this disease of ease, looking to how it rationalizes and reasons with the unguarded mind and how we can shake off this sin which clings so closely to our comfort, instead running "with endurance the race that is set before us" (Heb 12:1).
