LAZINESS & BACKSLIDING

An old mountaineer & his wife were sitting in front of the fireplace one evening taking life easy.

After a long silence, the wife said: "Jed, I think it's raining. Why don't you get up & go outside & see?"

The old mountaineer continued to gaze into the fire for a while, sighed & then said, "Aw, Ma, why don't we just call in the dog & see if he's wet."

That's what you call the height of laziness. And I wouldn't want to say that we are downright lazy, but we all have a lazy streak in us.

And laziness is a faith killer.

If you're too lazy to open & read your Bible...

If you're too lazy to pray & be thankful to God...

If you're too lazy to memorize & meditate scriptures...

Read this: You Are In A Big Trouble!

Laziness is a good indicator that you're slipping away from the hands of God.

Heb 6:12 (GNT): “We do not want you to become lazy, but to be like those who believe and are patient, and so receive what God has promised.”
