Are you doing this?
In more than one place, the Bible encourages and demands that we live lives that are productive. We’re not supposed to be takers and users and mere consumers, we’re to produce, to help, to provide…to make a difference!
Sometimes the Bible might be talking about our working in order to eat or our effort to help others…either way, we need to be making a positive, productive difference.
This is NOT aimed at someone who, because of health of physical reasons, is unable to work…but it most definitely is aimed at the rest of us. So…How are you helping provide, produce and make a difference???
It may JUST seem like you’re going to work, or JUST helping out a friend, or JUST volunteering some of your time…but it’s so much more than that. You’re honoring Christ!
“Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.” (Titus 3:14 NIV)
