Sluggard. Prov. 26:14: As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed. Maybe it’s me, but hearing the word Sluggard makes me smile. Today, from the cast of characters of the book of Proverbs: the Sluggard. Are you a sluggard? I asked that question on Facebook, and I will interweave some of the responses in the message.
My theory is that there is a little bit of sluggardness in all of us. In Seminary I took a class titled, “Evangelizing Nominal Christians.” (Nominal, meaning those who say they are Christians in our culture but their life does not reflect a full commitment to Christ.) The first point posed by professor Eddy Gibbs, was to establish that all of us are nominal to one degree or another, all of us fall down on a full commitment to Christ, so he had us consider our own relationship to Jesus Christ. The same principle applies to sluggardness.
