We are returning to Second Thessalonians 3:6-9. Working is the main subject of these verses and Pastor Verne is preaching on orderly work. We’ll learn about the disorderly life (3:6) and the orderly life (3:7-9). A Christ-centered life works diligently to provide for the needs of living and giving. The specific instruction is that we are to withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly. The disorderly is the non-working person. This verse is not speaking of the truly needy, such as those who are unable and incapable of working like widows and orphans. The believer addressed here will not and refuses to work. The contrast is presented in verses 7-9. The Apostle Paul. Silvanus and Timothy are godly examples before the church who worked in order not to be a burden to the church. This passage concludes with a description of work as being labor and toil. Working to provide for our needs and to generously give are part of the values we practice for the glory of God.
