Procrastination is a Worship Problem

…a habit of procrastination indicates a worship problem: an unwillingness to do the work that God has appointed for us, or an inability to discern what he has given us and what he has not. The procrastinator loves to hoard her time for herself rather than work diligently in it on the errands and tasks God gives her. She would rather blame the chaos outside of her than the chaos in her heart.

What is Sin?

"Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God or takes the relish off spiritual things, whatever increases the authority of your body over your mind-- this thing to you is sin."

-- Susannah Wesley

The Need for Discipline

"In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves… self-discipline with all of them came first."
