The Thessalonians: An Undisciplined Life
In 2 Thessalonians Paul warns us about living an undisciplined life. Did he mean we should avoid stopping for that chocolate donut on the way to work every morning? Or perhaps he meant we should be sure we get that much coveted 8 hours of “beauty” sleep every night? Or maybe, he was suggesting we remain committed to the goals we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year? Indeed, avoiding temptation, taking care of ourselves, and sticking to goals involve discipline, but the kind of discipline Paul talks about in 2 Thessalonians 3 is much more than that. Let’s take a look at what Paul meant by leading an undisciplined life.
