2 Thess 3:6-15 - Taking Issue with Idleness
Idleness is a serious distraction, so let’s take serious the things of God. 1) The Seriousness of Idleness (3:6, 14-15) it disobeys Scripture (3:6) It ignores God’s good design for work (3:6, Genesis 1-2) it distracts us from loving and providing for oneself and others (3:11-12) And it wastes time without reference to God (3:11, 2 Thess 1:11-12) 2) The Witness against Idleness (3:7-9) Paul's hard work (3:7-8) Paul's loving motivation (3:7-9) Paul's Gospel Conduct (3:6,8 - 1 Thess 2:9-12) 3) The Weariness caused by Idleness (3:13)
