 A Well-Ordered Life

Or, Providential Purposeful Productivity

2 Thessalonians 3:6-18

 

            Paul turns to a subject only hinted at in his first letter (1 Thess. 5:14). There he says to warn the “idle,” but a better translation is “unruly,” or “undisciplined.” It wasn’t just that some had stopped working, but had done so because they assumed that “The Day of the Lord” had come (2 Thess. 2:1, 2). Time otherwise spent earning a living and helping others was wasted on idle chatter and heresy. That brings another guidance on how to deal with such troublemakers and how to live a well-ordered, God-honoring, Last Days life.
