Jesus worked until he was called, then it was kingdom work

So what about pastors? Nearly all don't work. They take a salary off the tithing. Is that OK?

Does God say in the bible directly? Don't think so and even if he does that could apply to me but I don't see how it's something I can figure out when my parents pretty much horrible parenting and I'm 21 with no job so I'm stuck here miserable

@@IsraelCountryCube I will pray for you man, just try to be diligent and work harder and harder pray about it too and take action hard work pays off

@@IsraelCountryCube hard times come that is different and he is not referring to hard times or people who are sick and disabled. Prayers going up!

​@@IsraelCountryCube 2 Thes 3:6-15 - _"Now we command you, believers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by His authority, that you withdraw and keep away from every brother or sister who leads an undisciplined life and does not live in accordance with the tradition and teaching that you have received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example, because we did not act in an undisciplined or inappropriate manner when we were with you [we were never idle or lazy, nor did we avoid our duties], nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we worked night and day [to pay our own way] so that we would not be a financial burden on any of you [for our support]; not because we do not have a right to such support, but [we provided our own financial support] to offer ourselves as a model for you, so that you would follow our example. For even while we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. Indeed, we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined and inappropriate life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies [meddling in other people’s business]. Now such people we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and work quietly and earn their own food and other necessities [supporting themselves instead of depending on the hospitality of others]. And as for [the rest of] you, believers, do not grow tired or lose heart in doing good [but continue doing what is right without weakening]. Now if anyone [in the church] does not obey what we say in this letter, take special note of that person and do not associate with him, so that he will be ashamed and repent. Do not regard him as an enemy, but keep admonishing him as a [believing] brother."_

Not true he did sacrifice family time. Because he had to for money.

Serving God includes taking care of the family

Amen! No power tools back then 💪🏼

Amen! Thank yoy for posting this!

I don't know, but just yesterday I came across that verse & I remember marking it. Now today ,I come upon this video.hmm🤔

Ministry can be a full time when God grows the church. Though there are too many that make a business out of God's people. The tithes brought food into the storehouse for the priesthood to be taken care of. Too many today want the bling from ministry - the fancy cars, houses, planes ect. Minding the house and the sheep has gotten cast aside. This isn't a business, it ministry to God, building His kingdom.

@@barbarahayes4696 you are very right

Yes, that's what he said
