    Lesson 21: With Concern For One Another

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 8, 2019
     | 1,300 views

    Paul has a warning for those who are IDLE AND DISRUPTIVE, which suggests that worship Services in the early church were often interrupted by unruly members, and the Thessalonian church was no exception. Many of the disorderly ones held false ideas about the nearness of Christ’s second coming.

    The Work Of The Lord Series

     | 6,166 views

    The work is great but the laborers are few. The warfare is heated but the hearts of many are cold. The witnesses are needed but many are idle. We need to give ourselves “fully” to the work of the Lord.

    THE WORK OF THE LORD I CORINTHIANS 15:57-58 INTRODUCTION: In tribute to my friend Truman Kimbrough. I borrowed this from him. The work is great but the laborers are few. The warfare is heated but the hearts of many are cold. The witnesses are needed but many are idle. We need to give ...read more

    God is always at work. He is never idle. The question is whether we are going to come alongside HIm and engage in what He is doing, or stand in the way or idly by.,

    The Danger Of Passivity

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 3, 2025
     | 208 views

    Passivity is a silent destroyer of spiritual growth, faith, and divine purpose. A believer who remains passive is at risk of stagnation, spiritual attacks, and missed blessings. God calls us to be active, watchful, and diligent in His kingdom.

    THE DANGER OF PASSIVITY By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Revelation 3:15-16 Supporting Texts: Proverbs 24:30-34, James 4:17, Matthew 25:24-30, Hebrews 6:12 INTRODUCTION: Passivity is one of the greatest dangers to a believer’s spiritual growth and destiny.

    Wouldn’t you agree with me, that it is a great tragedy to sit idle in our little Christian box and let people die in sin and go to Hell without an attempt to rescue them?

    SOUL SEARCHING Gen 18:16-33 16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a ...read more

    Too Busy To Work

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,309 views

    We can apply this principle of diligence to our spiritual lives, not simply our jobs. If we become lax or idle in our pursuit of God (worship, prayer, service, etc.), we will find ourselves missing God’s will.

    Too Busy to Work 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12 6 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does not live according to the teaching you received from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle ...read more

    You can learn from observing people. It is amazing that King Solomon could see this much from his palace. Solomon was observing people who were working hard, and he observed that their inward motive was envy. We could find this type of person very commonly.

    You can learn a lot from watching people. You could be at the Atlanta airport at the busiest airport in the world or at a quiet rural restaurant and you will find a variety of people. We can become students of people. Knowing what makes people tick and learning from others is wise. We are ...read more

     | 3,506 views

    Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.

    In this passage of Scripture, God is placing judgment on a sinful world. How long will today's Christians just sit idle on the seat of do nothing before they band together and pray for repentance and deliverance?
