Spiritual Slothfulness (G.F. Barlee)

Keywords: Earthly life orientation; Life orientation: earthly; Zeal

In these last days there is a very real danger threatening the children of God, most insidious, and therefore more dangerous. This is spiritual slothfulness. In former times when, to confess Christ entailed the loss of all one’s possessions, ... moreand possibly of life itself, this danger hardly existed. The risk was so real and great that a man had to be in deadly earnest before taking it. But in Christendom generally all that is now past, each man thinks and believes as he likes, and no one takes any notice.
