Sloth

Richard Baxter in A Christian Directory, includes a section called “Directions against Idleness and Sloth.” He leads off his counsel to the idle sounding this alarm before anything else. He writes, “The first help against sloth is to be well acquainted with the greatness of the sin. For no wonder it be committed by them that think it is small. God himself reckons it with heinous sins. Idleness is a sin we can sleepily ease into. It is not a sin that we can sleepily ease out of. If we take laziness lightly, we will never repent of it with our whole heart.”
