With All Diligence

"Not slothful in business."  Romans 12:11.  Whether it be our human business or our church business, we are to be diligent.  The Christian lives in the world, and also, lives in the church.  Our lives are both physical and spiritual.  Therefore, we are to be diligent in both areas of our life.  God has never approved of slothfulness.  Nothing is accomplished by laziness.  If we do not attend to our physical lives, weeds will grow.  If we do not attend to our spiritual welfare, the devil will sow seeds of evil in our heart.   Kingdom business must not be neglected. The Lord calls us to labor so that we might earn the necessities of our life.  The Lord has blessed us with the charge of labor in His kingdom so that our souls and the souls of others might be saved.  We must not depend upon others to do our labor in His service.  With diligence, we complete the assignments that have been delivered unto us in our life.  Diligence is admirable both with man and also with God.
