Ran across this the
other day. I think it is a useful verse
to use against those who like to practice spiritual blackmail. As an example I have two clients who are
brother and sister. The brother spends
money like a drunken sailor and then when his kids need help he goes to the
sister and tries to guilt her into providing that help.
Well Scripture tells
us that he is the one who is guilty of not fulfilling his role in Scripture,
not her.
1 Timothy 5:8(NKJV)
But if anyone does
not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has
denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
