lazier than furniture. [142]

Romans 12:11, Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
Proverbs 28:19, He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
Proverbs 13:4, The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
Ephesians 4:28, He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need.
Proverbs 12:24, Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.

we live in a lazy culture. we desire to have jobs that don't require work. we would much rather sit around and play video games (don't get me wrong, i love them too) than go outside and run. i think this is leading to a lazy faith as well. whatever we can do without putting forth much effort. the problem is that Christianity isn't and shouldn't be a lazy faith. we were created for so much more than that. a faith that breathes.
