THE BROTHER OF LAZINESS

Pr 18:9 One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys.

Ec 10:18 If a man is lazy, the rafters sag; if his hands are idle, the house leaks. Lazy people may not have the intention of destroying stuff, but that's what often happens. For example a lazy person may overlook safety concerns or not keeping up with maintenance - it's just too much effort - resulting in people getting injured and things getting broken.

And much worse the effect of lazy Christians. For many will go to hell or otherwise miss the opportunity to be edified simply because Christians were too lazy to be involved in ministering to them. Christian faith should be contrary to laziness, as it is written, "We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised." Heb 6:12 Therefore "diligently follow every good work." 1Tim 5:10b
