Laziness

- A life of ease and relaxation is the ideal our culture promotes. But does God’s Word support such an attitude? Looking to the wisdom of Proverbs, Alistair Begg identifies the sinful characteristics and behaviors of a lazy person. The fall into indolence may cause us to stray from God’s plan for our work, relationships, and communion with Him. By steadfastly nurturing all areas of life, however, we will grow closer to becoming the followers God intends for us to be.
Scripture: Proverbs 24:33-34

In God we trust.
It is indeed so easy to be lazy. Not so much in work, as I “ work as if for The Lord. Easier to be so at home. Mostly when I’m sad. This has me asking God to assist me in becoming more diligent in my Bible study. God lives me more than any person ever will, how do I not spend more time in His Word. Thank you Alistair Begg for your wisdom & insight. God has given me the awareness of your ministry,& has used it to make serious changes in my life. Truth for Life has received my membership,& I’m very thankful
I was wondering how inactivity relates to mental illness - anxiety, depression, etc. I don't think Begg was addressing those struggling with mental illness at all in regards to laziness. I don't know what level of activity is appropriate for those who suffer in such a manner.
This is timely message for all: our self seeking culture plus entitlement attitudes = laziness.
Thank you Pastor Begg. What a wonderful sermon! May God bless you and your family.
Brilliant - I love how you present things, you sure turn on the headlights! So encouraging, the wisdom of the Bible is truly amazing - who could not be moved by you talks? Thank you Alistair for the serious and the fun way you get our attention. God bless you and you family.
Wonderful and much needed message. One thing i would've hoped for was a definition of 'work' in this. I see a culture where people are full of activity and business but the activity is all around hobbies and entertainment vs doing what needs doing. Thank you for your message.
Thank you Pastor.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERMON !!! A dear friend, my old partner at work. He was my student but ended up being my partner, for years.
I retired over a decade ago and we still converse. He sent me this link. He said he listens to this channel every day of his life. I listened to this message on LAZINESS and flipped for the content. I JUST SUBBED. I like the way you preach, sir.

I am a lazy person. I don't know how I've become to be this way. Lord please help me.
Yes , the 4th Commandment, the biblical day of rest is and always will be sundown Friday to sundown Saturday.
God bless you and your beautiful family brother 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, laziness has been on my mind, the way you have elaborated it is an easy way to understand that laziness has sipped in to every aspect of life and especially mine. 😢.
I say like David "It is against you God that I have sinned you alone... Please take not your holy spirit from me..... Help me be more diligent for your Glory.
It would be a lot easier to do things if I wasn't SO EXHAUSTED and crippled up and in pain!!!!!. But apparently it's God's good pleasure to keep me like this, despite my pleas and prayers....
In your weakness, his strength his made perfect. I deal with the exact same sufferings,
Do NOT lift your eyes in hell. You MUST be born again, born from outside yourself, born from above. You won't bring laziness to an end in your life by yourself.
Ayy you quoted Robert Frost
My wife is making me come to terms with myself and how bloody lazy I am and i can see how dangerous it is to my home honestly and my spiritual walk
Fasting is the way to get rid of all these sins in a root.
This is such a terrible trap to fall into. Thank you for this message.
Excellent 👍
"No, give me the cinnamon Life. I'll be fine."
I'm sorry to say this was how I spent my entire twenties.
I knew this would be saturated with pastor's wit humor that belongs solely to the people of god!..
YES, JUST LIKE THE NARCISSIST !!!! (( NO KIDDING !!!!!!!!!!!!
