Are we sleeping?
1Th. 5:5-11 You belong to the day and the light not to the night and the dark. Therefore, we must not fall asleep like other people, but we must stay awake and be sober. People who sleep, sleep at night; people who get drunk, get drunk at night. Since we belong to the day, we must be sober. We must put on faith and love as a breastplate and the hope of salvation as a helmet. It was not GodÂ’s intention that we experience his anger but that we obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake in this life or asleep in death, we will live together with him. Therefore, encourage each other and strengthen one another as you are doing.
Worldly churches are comfortable churches
Worldly friends are comfortable friends
Activities that do not provoke or require thought are comfortable
Failure to meditate on the Word is comfortable
Neglecting evangelism is comfortable
Keeping busy and using that as an excuse to neglect spiritual things is comfortable
Neglecting personal prayer is comfortable
Neglecting family prayer is comfortable
Neglecting prayer with friends is comfortable
A lack of true accountability is comfortable
Failing to hold your friends into account is comfortable
The whole effortless Christian existence is comfortable
Sleep is comfortable.
