Take-Home Truth
A biblical work ethic is gospel witness—marked by diligent labor that provides for yourself, protects the church, and points people to Christ.
Discussion/Reflection Questions
1. Am I living in a way that reflects discipline and responsibility, or have I become idle in any area of life or faith?
2. How do I respond when I see other believers struggling with idleness or disorderly conduct?
3. In what ways am I setting an example for others in my daily life—especially in diligence, humility, and service?
4. Have I ever expected to benefit from others’ efforts without contributing myself (in church, work, or relationships)?
5. When I grow weary of doing good, what helps me stay motivated and faithful?
Supplemental Scripture Reading: Proverbs 6:6–11
“Go to the ant, you slacker! Observe its ways and become wise. Without leader, administrator, or ruler, it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food during harvest. How long will you stay in bed, you slacker? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest, and your poverty will come like a robber, your need, like a bandit.”
Memory Verse: 2 Thessalonians 3:3
“But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.”
