More Work, Less Words S9e11 2thes3:12

If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.  This concept effects two groups of people.

First is the unwilling non-worker.  The risk here is that they fall into idleness and then into busybodiness.  This moves from slack HANDS to busy TONGUES.  It is Opinions without Output; Concerns without Contributions; Views with the Value-added.  The charge for this group is to be busy at work, eat bread that you worked for and do your activities quietly.  Fix your hand problem and then your tongue problem.

The second group is the believing community.  Their charge is to allow the natural consequences to the unwilling non-worker busybody.  No sharing bread earned by others. Maybe let some hunger happen. If necessary, use the power of fellowship to help them.  At risk here is both the integrity of community and the soul of the unwilling.

Be busy at work today.  But, before you go, subscribe at bewithme.us and google podcasts. Please come back to listen and read  and wonder tomorrow.
