Are you a committed Christian?
Do your thoughts and focus in life always come back to Christ? There are no perfect Christians and sin will plague us until we die and go to be with Christ.
Yet if our life is not focused and immersed in Christ and the Bible we will succumb to the sins that beset us and dishonor God. Are you a lazy Christian? - Andy
"Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. 7 Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, 8 she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest. 9 How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, 11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man. Proverbs 6:6-11
