It Starts as a Child

Proverbs 19:24 (Contemporary English Version) Some people are too lazy to lift a hand to feed themselves.

1 Timothy 5:17-18 (The Message)Give a bonus to leaders who do a good job, especially the ones who work hard at preaching and teaching. Scripture tells us, "Don't muzzle a working ox" and "A worker deserves his pay."

“I want it now.” Next time you are in a grocery store or restaurant, just listen to hear some child screaming because they are not getting what they want. They wailing is usually squelched as the parents cave in to the child’s desires. We have been and are training children that they can have anything they want by merely screaming for it. They have no conception of responsibility or working to earn. It is no wonder that we have become a nation dependant on welfare, excepting to get what we want with no effort on our part. This is not a socialistic country. We must take care of our elderly and those with disabilities but there are far too many able bodied people demanding that they be taken care of while they sit around whining for more. If we do not teach our children that they must work to make a living then this country will become a socialistic nation.
