Study of sloth, slothful or lazy
HYPOTHESIS: What does the Hebrew word "atsal" mean?
INTRODUCTION: The concept of being lazy and slothful is interesting.
What do these pictures tell us about ourselves and our attitudes towards
God? There is a story of Jesus giving men different talents of His power
to invest. Some men away and got busy and made more increase from
the flow of Jesus powere through them. But one man who received
his one talent, got lazy and fearful that this Jesus power flowing in
him might change him, and He loved his pet devil's that help his
faviourite sinning habits. Anyway, let's do the study and see.
METHOD: All verses in OT and NT studied
CONCLUSION: The word "atsal" means "sloth" or "lazy".
PICTURE: ��� atsal "lazy"

Notice the contrast with a similar word made contrasting letters.
"scorn"
The pictograph means" The authority travels it's own path & keeps on travelling that way" This word is the idea to scorn.
PERSONAL APPLICATION: What does slothful mean ?
We are not to be lazy with the power God gives us. Or embezzle Jesus'
power in other trivial matters. Jesus expects an increase, not laziness.
You must listen to the still small voice of the conscience, and obey.
The natural man in love with self, follows the path of it's own authority,
doing it's own thing. We cannot be slothful in our Business work
of Jesus' power flowing through us. It is His power given according
to our several abilities, and Jesus expects His power to increase
in our lives. Be ye not afraid. Be willing to allow such power to
grow. Often we are afraid humanly speaking that other humans
will laugh at us, or scorn us, or hurt us. Forget about humans,
take up your cross, my friend. Look what they did to Jesus. Look
to the heavenly rewards, not the pathetic gains of the world here.
