Proverbs 6:1-19
Think, reason, and feel like God wants you to.
You might feel like being lazy, but don’t let un-Godly feelings inhibit the Lord’s will.
Do you let those who are less able out-work you?
Do what you are able to do. Work ethic is a part of wisdom.
2 Thessalonians 3:6-15
Caution of keeping company with those who are lazy.
Romans 12:9-21
The Bible tells us how we should feel. Follow the Word.
Be careful not to be “selectively slothful.” (Only doing things that you want to do)
And do your best. Be greatful to be able to act in Christ.
Hebrews 6:9-12
What is your work ethic in the Lord? “Labour of love” means it tires you sometimes.
What labor are you known for in God? Can you be easily detered?
Which ant doesn’t work? All Christians are to show the same diligence.
Establish an expectation of a work ethic.
(finishing-up with the list of things that the Lord hates from Proverbs 6)
Revelations 21:7-8
