"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
HEBREWS 10:24-25
To be busy with all things except the enlightenment of the spirit is not right. To be diligent in knowing Christ and creating activity centered around that is the proper way. Let not a busy day keep your heart from knowing your Lord. Often people want to enjoy the fruit of the scriptures without having to honor the Lords commands.
It is common for people to find Jesus and then retire from spiritual growth with the head knowledge of Christ and go about daily life. There are no spiritual gifts provided to the sluggish. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are provided to the workers for Jesus - for the purpose of spreading the good news of the risen Lord such that non-believers may see a believer of Christ - see the spiritual life of Christ in them - and also be saved. This is how the kingdom of God is built up.
Those who choose to be true disciples understand they are given life only for the purpose of God's Heavenly Kingdom - to spread his message - the truth of Christ Jesus - the Risen Lord. Such that we are literally the hands and feet of Christ used for the purpose of gathering the Lord's Children - the scattered remnant of the tribes of Israel.
As followers of The Way, we are not timid, we are not quiet. We speak truth and we speak life for it is life in us in The Way. We do not fear for the Lord guides our path and goes ahead of us to clear the way. Be diligent in encouragement and build each other up for in Christ we are one body that will function perfectly with Christ Jesus as our head.
