Laziness

By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through. — Ecclesiastes 10:18 (KJV)

Laziness is not just an attitude, it is a lack of action. It is a choice to let important matters suffer neglect. While the results of this choice may not always be evident, over the passage of time, the basic results of idleness are borne out by the accumulating signs of decay and destruction.

Brothers and sisters we have become lazy!! This fact is evident in the world today!! Sin has run rampant, churches are dying off, and the word of the Lord is being watered-down and perverted.

The good news is that it's not to late to turn it around. 2 Chronicles 7:14  says "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

We need to become active again. Humble ourselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways!!! He will forgive us and heal our lands.

We are equal in love.

If the world would just follow the Word it would be a better place. But since the world as a whole has rejected the Word then it's up to us Christians to set the example. Live to others the way you would live to Christ. In doing so we could break the barriers of racism and discrimination.

Remember "love" by definition is "The sacrificial giving of oneself to the benefit of others without thought of return or repayment."

When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. — Acts 11:18 (KJV)

Breaking through racial and cultural barriers is never easy. Thankfully, God's Spirit doesn't let us settle comfortably into our prejudices. Instead, we are challenged, led, and pushed to break through racial hatred and cultural ignorance. Let's be the kind of people who rejoice and praise God as every barrier dividing people falls. Let's press on until the triumphant promise of the Gospel is fulfilled: "There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female. For you are all Christians — you are one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). In doing this, we anticipate the incredible chorus of heaven that praises God with folks from every language, tribe, people, and nation (Revelation 7:9-11).
