Don't Be An Active, But Idle, Busy Body Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 5, 2019

A Lazy Man’s Vineyard

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 12, 2020

A little laziness would ruin a great harvest. It is time for us to be busy for Christ and reap a mighty harvest.

I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding; And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; Its surface was covered with nettles; Its stone wall was broken down. When I saw it, I considered it well; I looked on it and received instruction: A little ...read more

Should Work For Food?

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Feb 21, 2015

We have seen the signs. "Will Work For Food". Would it be unreasonable to suggest "Must Work For Food"?

FDR created the CCC and WPA which were pretty much working welfare programs. Indeed, it was a fulltime job and not easy labor. Lev_19:10 ...read more

Too Busy To Work

Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 29, 2013
