A general rule

II Thessalonians 3:10 “For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: ‘The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.'” In this verse God is not talking about those who have a physical, mental or debilitating disability.  God is talking about a person who is fully capable of working and is simply lazy.  The rule is quite simple–work and eat–don’t work, don’t eat.  It’s hard to get simpler than that!

Lackadaisical is totally foreign to you

II Thessalonians 2:15 “So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or letter.” The Bible is not simply a book one goes to the library to get to read for pleasure because it might have some good ideas.  You don’t go to Amazon and order it used to get a deal and maybe read it, maybe not.  The Bible contains such valuable wisdom that your and my eternity is held within its grasp.  Our Almighty God had His words written solely for our benefit.  How foolish it is to ignore the life saving truths our God explains.  Read, apply and enjoy His truths.
