In the 17th century, some church members thought procrastination as a sin. Revererned Walker had preference his sermon on procrastination and wrote, "I enquired of the most Learned, Grave, Conscientious and Experienced Ministers for direction; and one query I propound was, what subjects, or what texts they had found most useful and most successful to awaken, convince and convert their hears. To which a very holy, learned, aged and experienced minister replied by naming a text against procrastination; adding he never found his ministry so successful upon any, as upon that subject, upon which very text I have preached many sermons since." So Walker states that he was not alone in believing that procrastination was "certainly evil and sin". .
