My entry tonight is just my notes from tonight’s Bible study. Ashley’s lesson could have been written specifically for me.

2 Thess 3:6-13

  • do not grow weary of doing good.

Idleness. Aimlessness. (sloth.)

  • is not Christlike.
  • is appealing, and influential to others.
    • 1 thess 5:14 — admonish the idle
  • doesn’t mix with initiative.
    • God isn’t into gray areas.
  • is unfruitful by nature.
  • drains away integrity.
  • is not defeated merely by intent, but by action.
  • is hypocritical.
    • Take up your cross and follow me.
  • drains resources and contributes nothing.
  • hinders God’s work.
  • neuters our calling.

Am I occupied with God’s purpose?

What do I have to show for my work?

What’s coming out of my mouth? (aha.)

  • Defensive? Judgmental? Gossip?

Gal. 6:9 — at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
