Scripture Post #106: *NOT SLOTHFUL*

Romans 12:11: "Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;"


Note: This Scripture was from Paul, a servant & Apostle of Christ, to all that were in Rome: Rom. 1:1 & 7.

I believe this Scripture (Rom. 12:11) correlates with the parable of the talents that Jesus spoke of in Matt. 25:14-30. The servant who was slothful with his talents was called wicked. God is displeased with slothfulness in business. I believe God is displeased with slothfulness in general. It's interesting to me how Rom. 12:11and Matt. 25:14-30 both have to do with business and both mention slothfulness. Hence the previously mentioned "correlates".
