Ever thought much about what it means to be idle? Paul surely did, and he wrote to the church at Thessalonica about it. It turns out that they had a bit of a problem: The believed that Jesus was coming back any day now (so far so good), but you know what they were doing in the meantime? Nothing (not so good).  Just what should believers be doing "in the meantime", and what attitude should we have toward those who are idle?
