From Liberty University’s Freedom Center:
For starters, the Bible endorses the ethic of work as one visible demonstration of a virtuous Christian life. For instance, when addressing the fledging church community in Thessalonica, the Apostle Paul explicitly warns them about lazy behavior.
Of course, Christians are supposed to be at the tip of the spear in alleviating poverty, especially when it comes to other believers. That doesn’t mean, however, that we are under any obligation to help indolent bums.
Such people are not entitled to our generosity. They have chosen the path of poverty, to paraphrase Proverbs 10:4. There is another reason, though, why Christians should promote a culture of work: Work is central to man’s makeup.
Christians, then, should be vocal proponents of fostering a culture of work in civil society. Not only are we charged biblically to “earn our own living,” as Paul put it, but the ritual of work is the method by which God intended for us to cultivate His creation. It’s part of our DNA.
Today’s leftists, on other hand, are fundamentally opposed to fostering a culture of work. Instead, politicians like Elizabeth Warren and AOC are zealously engineering a culture of dependency where citizens are rewarded with government cash for sitting around on their duffs.
Of note, the Freedom Center was launched as Falkirk Center, a smashup of Jerry Falwell Jr.’s and Charlie Kirk’s names. But days later, Falwell was exposed as a literal cuckold who jerked off in the corner while watching a young pool boy fuck his wife.
The above piece’s author, Jason Mattera [photo], first appeared on JMG in 2010 when then-Sen. Al Franken handed him his head over false claims that Franken had sponsored a bill for $7 billion in “playground jungle gyms.”
Before you ask, this piece published by Liberty University’s Standing For Freedom Center is *not* satire. https://t.co/9PCLSNOB2l pic.twitter.com/lUmZLoKdCb
