Aug.2007.
We work wearily with our own hands to earn our living. We bless those who curse us. We are patient with those who abuse us.
You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it."
Don't you remember the rule we had when we lived with you? "If you don't work, you don't eat." And now we're getting reports that a bunch of lazy good-for-nothings are taking advantage of you. This must not be tolerated. We command them to get to work immediately—no excuses, no arguments—and earn their own keep. Friends, don't slack off in doing your duty.
Don't lose your grip on Love and Loyalty. Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart. Earn a reputation for living well in God's eyes and the eyes of the people.
So now that you know God (or should I say, now that God knows you), why do you want to go back again and become slaves once more to the weak and useless spiritual principles of this world? You are trying to earn favor with God by observing certain days or months or seasons or years… For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power.
Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation.
1 Corinthians 4:12 Haggai 1:6 2 Thessalonians 3:10 Proverbs 3:3 Galatians 4:10,20 Proverbs 3:4
We make a living by what we earn; we make a life by what we give.
