    Laziness Do you like to be called lazy? Of course not. Who would? But would you believe that the Holy word of God calls somebody lazy? Well, it does. So let’s start with pointing our fingers to someone who was described in the Bible as lazy - this is the safe start. Titus 1,12-13 : "Cretans are ...read more
