Work and money

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. - Dr. Adrian Rogers

Dr. Rogers explains the natural results of disobedience to these commands:

Thessalonians 3: For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.

Genesis 1: "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

Indeed. When men set aside their God given obligation and right (yes, "right" in the sense that "it is something we should want to do") and think that somebody else will do all the work and then hand it over, neither nation nor family can survive.
