Wie definiert der Sprecher Faulheit in Bezug auf den christlichen Glauben?
-Faulheit wird als die Arroganz definiert, anzunehmen, dass Gott einem mehr Zeit gibt, um das zu tun, was man tun muss. Es ist ein Mangel an Bemühung, sich Gott zu nähern und seine Aufgaben zu erfüllen, weil man glaubt, dass es immer ein Morgen gibt.
Warum betrachtet der Sprecher Faulheit als Sünde?

Wie vergleicht der Sprecher Faulheit mit Arroganz?

👕 Einführung und Empfehlung für christliche Kleidung
Braxton beginnt die Episode, indem er christliche Kleidung von der Marke Godly empfiehlt, die für Christen entwickelt wurde. Er erklärt, dass das Akronym 'GDLy' für 'grateful', 'diligent', 'loving' und 'yielding' steht, was die christliche Lebensweise widerspiegelt. Braxton ermutigt seine Zuschauer, das Label zu unterstützen, bevor er auf das Thema der Episode übergeht – die Überwindung von Faulheit mithilfe von Gottes Wort.
🙏 Warum Faulheit das Wachstum als Christ behindert
Braxton erklärt, dass Faulheit im christlichen Leben ein ernstes Problem ist, da sie das persönliche Wachstum und die Beziehung zu Gott verhindert. Er zitiert Bibelstellen wie Jakobus 4:8 und Jeremia 29:13, um zu zeigen, dass Gott uns auffordert, ihn aktiv zu suchen. Wenn wir zu faul sind, dies zu tun, werden wir ihn nicht finden. Faulheit ist ein Hindernis für das geistliche Wachstum und sollte überwunden werden.
📖 Schriftliche Grundlage zur Faulheit
Braxton geht auf mehrere Bibelstellen ein, die Faulheit thematisieren, darunter Kolosser 3:23, 1. Timotheus 5:8, Sprüche 10:5 und 26:15. Die Bibel betont, dass harte Arbeit wichtig ist und Faulheit zu einem unerfüllten Leben führt. Er kündigt an, später auf Sprüche 24 und 6 zurückzukommen, um das Thema weiter zu vertiefen.
🐜 Faulheit als sündhafter Stolz
Braxton spricht über eine Erkenntnis, die er im Gebet erhielt: Faulheit ist eine Form von Stolz, da sie die arrogante Annahme beinhaltet, dass Gott uns immer mehr Zeit geben wird, um Dinge zu erledigen. Er warnt davor, dass die Bibel klar sagt, dass der morgige Tag nicht garantiert ist, und dass es sündhaft ist, anzunehmen, dass man morgen tun kann, was heute zu tun ist.
🕰 Faulheit als Arroganz und wie man sie überwindet
Braxton beschreibt Faulheit als Arroganz, indem er ein Beispiel mit einem Arbeitgeber verwendet, der zusätzliche Arbeitszeit gibt, aber die Person dann die Zeit verschwendet. Faulheit und Prokrastination sind laut Braxton Sünden, die aus Stolz resultieren. Er schlägt vor, wie man Faulheit überwinden kann: durch Demut und das Erkennen, dass jede Stunde ein Geschenk von Gott ist.
🐜 Die Weisheit der Ameise: Ein Vorbild für Fleiß
Braxton zitiert Sprüche 6, um auf die Ameise als Beispiel für Fleiß hinzuweisen. Die Ameise arbeitet ständig, auch ohne Aufsicht, und sorgt so für sich. Er ermutigt die Zuschauer, die Ameise nachzuahmen, indem sie hart arbeiten und ihre Zeit klug nutzen.
🎯 Zusammenfassung: Warum Faulheit eine Sünde ist und wie man sie besiegt
Braxton fasst zusammen, dass Faulheit und Prokrastination sündhaft sind, weil sie auf der Annahme basieren, dass Gott immer mehr Zeit gewähren wird. Um Faulheit zu überwinden, empfiehlt er Dankbarkeit und Demut, indem man erkennt, dass jeder Tag ein Geschenk ist. Paulus' Ermahnung aus Epheser 5, jeden Moment weise zu nutzen, dient als Leitlinie.
📖 Das Beispiel der Talente: Verantwortung für die Zeit
Braxton erinnert an das Gleichnis von den Talenten, in dem ein Diener seine Verantwortung vernachlässigt und seine Talente verbirgt, weil er faul und ängstlich ist. Gott gibt jedem von uns Zeit und Fähigkeiten, und wir sollten sie nicht verschwenden, sondern sie für das Reich Gottes einsetzen.
🙌 Überwinde Faulheit mit Dankbarkeit und Demut
Braxton erklärt, dass Dankbarkeit und Demut die Schlüssel zur Überwindung von Faulheit sind. Er ermutigt dazu, jeden Tag als Geschenk zu betrachten und die Zeit weise zu nutzen, indem man Gott dient und fleißig arbeitet. Das Erkennen, dass Gott uns nichts schuldet, sondern uns alles gibt, sollte zu einem verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit der Zeit führen.
🙏 Gebet für Weisheit und Fleiß
Braxton beendet die Episode mit einem Gebet. Er bittet Gott, den Zuschauern zu helfen, ihre Faulheit zu überwinden, indem sie demütig und dankbar für die Zeit sind, die ihnen geschenkt wurde. Er betet für Weisheit und Fleiß, um das Beste aus jeder Gelegenheit zu machen und ein Leben zu führen, das Gott ehrt.

Highlights
Introduction to the podcast episode, focusing on overcoming laziness as a Christian and promoting a Christian clothing brand (Godly).
Laziness hinders personal growth and spiritual growth in one's relationship with God. James 4:8 is cited, emphasizing the importance of drawing near to God.
Jeremiah 29:13 is used to underline that seeking God with a whole heart is key to finding Him, and laziness can prevent this pursuit.
Laziness is labeled as a sin, and Braxton introduces the idea that it's rooted in arrogance and the assumption that God will give more time to complete tasks.
Discussion of Colossians 3:23, 1 Timothy 5:8, and Proverbs 10:5 as scriptures that highlight the importance of hard work and the consequences of laziness.
A humorous segment where Braxton addresses his YouTube audience about their lack of feedback on whether he should grow a goatee.
Proverbs 26:15 is cited, illustrating the absurdity of laziness through a vivid example of a sluggard being too lazy to feed himself.
Laziness is linked to procrastination, with the analogy of assuming more time will be given as a sign of pride and arrogance.
James 4:13-16 is referenced, emphasizing that tomorrow is not guaranteed and that it is foolish to assume more time will be granted.
The parable of the talents is used as an analogy for time management, showing how laziness and fear can lead to wasted opportunities.
The ant in Proverbs 6:6-11 is highlighted as an example of diligence, encouraging Christians to work hard without needing supervision.
Paul’s message in Ephesians 5:15-16 is discussed, stressing the importance of making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil.
Gratitude and humility are proposed as the two main ways to overcome laziness, recognizing that every day is a gift from God.
Laziness is compared to arrogance and pride, with an emphasis on understanding that God owes nothing and that time is a precious gift.
Closing prayer asking God to help listeners overcome laziness and to use their time wisely, acknowledging God's gifts with humility and gratitude.
Transcripts
yo welcome back before I get into this
week's episode on how to overcome
laziness with God's word and stop being
a lazy Christian I want to speak to the
Christians that are looking for some
good Christian clothing my friend from
Godly just sent me some shirts they've
got shirts like this and hoodies like
this and they're also free shipping
right now if you want to save 10% off
you can use my code bra and I love it
because the brand is spelled g DL y g
stands for being grateful in your trials
and struggles that God uses to shape you
d stands for diligently following and
working towards what God has shown you L
stands for loving yourself and others
along the way and why stands for
yielding to God's plan completely and
always so if you want some good
Christian clothing I'm going to leave
the link in the bio of both the YouTube
and Spotify episodes so I definitely
recommend checking it out and if you
want to support a smaller Christian
brand that's kind of getting started
right now so let's get into the word for
this week's episode I think one of the
most annoying things you can be as a
Christian is lazy and I'll tell you why
it is nearly impossible to grow as a
person or grow in your relationship with
God if you're lazy James 4:8 says draw
near to God and he'll draw near to you
so you got to draw near first but if
you're not Drawing Near because you're
too lazy you're not going to grow with
him Jeremiah 2913 God says you will seek
him and find him when you seek him with
your whole heart but if you're too lazy
to seek him with your whole heart you're
not going to find him see what I'm
saying laziness ruins us as Christians
but I think God taught me why laziness
is a sin and how to overcome laziness so
welcome back to the house of Jacob
podcast we in this house we serve the
Lord I'm your host Braxton now this week
we've got a we're going to talk about
laziness and honestly I didn't think I
was going to talk about laziness on the
podast for a while to be so honest but I
got a fire word that God has placed on
my heart for y'all and I'm going to
teach it to the lazy Christians you
little sluggards but yeah um we are
actually filming where I'm filming this
right now I'm filming it where I filmed
I think it was episode three it was
called breaking the cycle of sin this is
where that was filmed I was going to go
to this like beautiful Lake to film but
there were people fishing there and I
was like all right whatever I'll come
here at different time but yeah that's
what we're talking about today and I
will say for the YouTube homies for
those watching this on YouTube you're
fake I asked lastek
for those for everyone watching to
comment if I should grow the goatee or
not bro guess who
commented zero yall are all fake y'all
are all fake so I grew it anyways but
y'all are all fake still but let's talk
about laziness today we're going to talk
about three main things we're going to
talk about what scripture says about
laziness we're going to talk about why
laziness is a sin and then we're going
to talk about how to overcome laziness
and I have the most freaking fire word
for you guys today on this week's
episode D this might end up being one of
my favorite episodes so let's let's look
at what the Bible says about laziness
Colossians 3:23 Paul says whatever you
do work at it with all your heart as
working for the Lord not for human
Masters 1 Timothy 5'8 Paul says anyone
who does not provide for their relatives
and especially for their household has
denied the faith and is worse than an
unbeliever Proverbs 10:5 he who gathers
crops in summer is a prudent Sun but he
who sleeps during Harvest is a
disgraceful son Proverbs 26:15 a
sluggard buries his hand in the dish and
he is too lazy to bring it back to his
mouth and then we're going to come back
to Proverbs 24 and um Proverbs 6 later
but if you didn't pick up on it already
Proverbs talks about laziness a lot like
bro a lot but basically long story short
the Bible tells us that we should work
hard on all we do that we should use our
time wisely that we shouldn't be
sluggards that we're disgraceful Sons if
we're sluggards and stuff like that but
the question is the question is why is
laziness a sin is that a bug what the
heck is that what is that what is that o
o I think it's a moth whatever whatever
I'm getting distracted guys come on we
need to get the word um I want to talk
about why ladies in say a sin I was
actually I was asking Jesus about this
maybe a month or two ago and I I think
he revealed the craziest thing to me you
know why I think laziness is a sin it's
arrogance it's the Arrogant assumption
like laziness and procrastination the
reason laziness and procrastination are
sins are because they're the Arrogant
assumption that God is going to give you
another time to do what you need to do
you're too lazy to get in your Bible to
grow in your relationship with God to
seek the Lord you're too lazy to go get
a job and do work you're too lazy to do
your homework or whatever you're lazy
because you're arrogantly assuming that
God is going to give you another time to
do what you need to do literally you can
trace any form of laziness back to that
bride I'm too lazy to go get this work
done around my house I'm too lazy to do
this you're lazy because you're
pridefully assuming God's going to give
you more time to do what you need to do
the Bible makes it very clear clear that
tomorrow is never promised James says in
the Book of James that every good and
perfect gift comes from above he also
says in James 4 to not boast about
tomorrow and say tomorrow we will go do
this and this but to rather say if the
Lord Wills we will go do this and this
and
this so you know why I think laziness is
a sin I think it's the arogant
assumption that God is going to give you
more time to do what you need to do and
James says in James 4:13 to16 to not
boast about tomorrow to not assume that
there will be tomorrow to not say
tomorrow we will go into this town and
do this and this and this but to rather
say if the Lord Wills we will go do this
because James says all such boasting is
evil we shouldn't boast about tomorrow
we shouldn't assume we are going to go
do this tomorrow we should say if the
Lord Wills I will so I think we must
remember when it comes to laziness that
tomorrow is never promised and when we
procrastinate when we're too lazy to go
get something done when we're too lazy
to go seek the Lord to go get a job and
work when we're too lazy to do our
homework or do our chores around the
house or whatever we're too lazy because
we're arrogant because we're arrogantly
assuming God will provide more time to
use I think about this analogy I think
it's almost like you have this boss that
you asked to give him some more extra
hours to work because you need the money
and he gave them to you but then when
you went to work you just sat on your
phone the whole time and you didn't do
any work that's arrogance you asked your
boss for more time for more hours and
when he gave it to you you were like H I
don't feel like working bro that's
arrogance genuinely that's pride and I
think that's I think laziness is the
same way and I honestly think you can
trace almost any sin back to laziness
the only one I can't really see how you
can trace to laziness as lust but I can
see almost every sin Trace back to
laziness in some way genuinely it's so
easy so I think that's why laziness is a
sin I also want to look at Proverbs 24
Proverbs 24 um actually I want to look
at Proverbs 6 Proverbs 6 6-1 says go to
the ant you sluggard consider its ways
and be wise it has no Commander no
overseer or ruler yet it stores its
Provisions in summer and gathers its
food and harvest how long will you lie
there you Slugger will you get up from
your sleep a little sleep a little
Slumber a little folding of the hands to
rest and poverty will come upon you like
a thief and scarcity like an armored man
armed man sorry dude this is why I think
is so important the writer of this
proverb says go to the ant you lazy
person and observe its ways and be wise
because he says that the ant has no boss
no ruler no no
Commander but it's still it just goes
and stores its Provisions its food in
the summer and it gathers its food and
harvest he says look at the ant because
even the tiny little ant the little
pointless ant works all the time I mean
you bro you study ants bro they are
never not working and the the writer of
this proverb Solomon is telling us here
to be like the ants man just always
working no Commander no ruler no
overseer they just work and he says
consider its ways and be wise and I
think in the same way that's how we
should be we should consider the ways of
like an ant and be wise working hard in
all of we do and I think that actually
kind of leads me as to how to overcome
laziness so I want to reflect a little
bit let's answer the question let's
answer two questions right now why is
laziness a sin and how do we overcome
laziness laziness is a sin laziness
sorry laziness and procrastination are
sins because we're arrogantly assuming
God is going to give us more time to do
what we need to do now the way we
overcome this is actually I think Paul
says in Ephesians 5:15 to16 Paul says be
be very careful then how you live not as
unwise but as wise making the most of
every opportunity because the days are
evil Paul tells us here to be wise and
make the most of every
opportunity I think that's how we live
as Christians I think that's how we stop
being lazy we make the most of every
opportunity every day God gives you 24
hours a day to do what you need to do to
get in his word to seek him to tell
other people about him to apply the word
to work hard at your job to do things
around your house to do what you need to
do he gives you 24 hours to do it there
is no reason you can't do that he gives
you 24 hours a day to go do what you
need to do obviously minus whatever
amount you sleep so I think that's how
we overcome laziness I think we stop we
we stop being unwise and we wisely make
the most of every opportunity God gives
us every hour every minute that he gives
us to seek him to tell others to seek
Him to guide others to him to work hard
to provide for our families and
ourselves I think that's how we overcome
laziness now we like I said we look at
laziness and we see that it's a sin
because we're boasting about tomorrow
we're assuming we are going to go do
this tomorrow we're doing what James
says not to do in James 4:13 to16 we're
saying ah I'll do it tomorrow that's
boasting about tomorrow so the way we
stop procrastinating being laziness is
we humble ourselves and understand that
every single time God gives us every 24
hours is a gift it's not owed to you God
doesn't owe you another day on this
Earth not at all God does not owe you
anything but he provides you everything
he provides you 24 hours a day to do
what you need to do to help others to
love others to love yourself to love him
to seek Him you've got 24 hours to do
all of that so that's how we overcome
laziness we stop being foolish and
arrogant and unwise and we make the most
of every opportunity God gives us we
humble ourselves and put away our
arrogant pride and remember that every
day God gives us was not owed to us but
as James says in the Book of James it
was a gift it was a gift and when you
understand it was a gift you're going to
use it very wisely you're a lot more
appreciative than a gift of a gift than
a reward a reward was owed to you God
doesn't owe you a reward he doesn't owe
you anything everything is a gift
including the time that you're using to
watch this episode right now so I want
you to hear my words and I want you to
do what Paul says here I want you to be
wise I want you to go use the time God
gives you
wisely I think this word is something
that that was so simple but I that that
Jesus taught me that like
procrastination is the arrogance that
he's going to give us more time to do
what we need to do but I I think that's
so
true that it's that it's that arrogance
that Pride so I think the way we
overcome laziness is humbling ourselves
and understanding that every minute we
have God has given us it's a gift so we
use it wisely like do you know how arant
and prideful you have to be for someone
to provide a gift for you and you
just you just like don't use it you
don't do anything with it I think about
like the the parable of the what is it
the parable of the talents I think is
what it is we're like the the boss or
whatever he was there were like three
workers and he gave one of them this
amount of talents one of them this
amount one of them this amount two of
them went and they did stuff and they
invested and doubled the amount of
talents they had one of them was scared
and lazy so he hid it until the boss
came back and the boss cursed that
servant he said you Wicked and lazy
servant I think I think about that like
with us it's the same with us God gives
us talents or time and some people
invest that time and they use it wisely
they use it for the kingdom they bring
people closer to Christ they bring
themselves closer to Christ they work
hard for their family others are like
the third servant and they're lazy and
they're scared so they hide their time
they hide their talents and they don't
do anything with it they waste it don't
waste the time God has given you don't
waste the time God has given you he
didn't owe it to you but you need
it don't be prideful don't be arrogant
be wise in the way you use the time God
has given you because he didn't owe you
another day
and I think that's the second way we
overcome laziness is gratitude I think
you gratefully accept and I think that's
so funny because we're talking about you
know that was the first thing about this
company with the G is uh gratitude I
think that's how we overcome laziness is
gratitude we're grateful that God has
given us more time to do what we need to
do to bring others to Salvation to help
others to love others to treat ourselves
and to seek Christ and grow closer to
God and seek his face you know what I'm
saying and I think out of that gratitude
if you're genuinely grateful for that
you're not lazy you'll be wise in the
way you use your time cuz you're
grateful that God even gave you another
day you roll out of bed and you say oh
my thank you God for another morning I
know you didn't owe it to me so I pray
that I could use today wisely because
today is a gift every single day is a
gift this is the day the Lord has made
so let us rejoice in it that's what I
think about every day is the Lord has
made is the day the Lord has made so may
we rejoice in it that is why we live for
Jesus every single day that is why we're
not lazy that's why we work hard in all
we do because every day is the day the
Lord has made so let us greatfully and
diligently rejoice in it so overcome
your laziness with God's word my friend
overcome your laziness with humility and
gratitude so to answer your question to
sum it up let's sum it up laziness and
procrastination is a sin because you're
arrogantly assuming God is going to give
you more time to do what you need to do
you're acting like the the third servant
in the parable of I think it's the
parable of the talents where he was
scared and lazy so he buried his talents
until the boss came back and the boss
said you Wicked and lazy servant so the
way we overcome laziness this is how we
overcome laziness gratitude and humility
and God's word obviously we're
gratefully remember that this is the day
the Lord has made let us rejoice in it
we gratefully remember that every day is
the day the Lord has made so we will
rejoice in it diligently and wisely
using every moment God has given us
and then the second way we overcome
laziness is humility we humble ourselves
and understand that every day we have
God has given us it wasn't no to us God
didn't owe you another 24 hours he
didn't owe you another minute another
breath and because of that you
gratefully and humbly use your time
wisely to bring others to Salvation to
provide for your family and yourself to
work hard in all you do to seek the face
of God to seek the presence of God to
get in the word of God you use the time
God has given you wisely because you
humbly remember that this is the day the
Lord has made so I will rejoice in it
diligently by working hard gratefully
humbly so that's how you overcome
laziness with gratitude and humility you
humbly remember that this is the day the
Lord gave you he didn't owe it to you he
just gave you it so use it wisely don't
be arrogant in the way you use today but
use it wisely my friend I'll see youall
