The Bible says that men need to work, and the Bible says that blessed is a man who hires workers, and the Bible tells us to pay our workers fair and to treat them well.

The Bible also says that poor widows and their children are loved by God, and God will punish the people who take advantage of poor widows and their children. God sees everything.
We need to work, but we need to be paid well for our work, and all people need to be respected.
Of note on the issue of boats, I have a nephew who I never met who is a yacht captain, rich people pay him to be the captain for their yachts. He also piloted a ferry boat I guess. He is a good guy and he is a good honest worker.

Trouble is...America / the West are fast becoming atheist.
'Conscience' is dying out fast.
It's fast becoming totally "dog eat dog'.
The Christians need to do service, like I did with Youth For Christ when I went to Mexico to help the orphans and people living in a garbage dump. The way to bring people to Christ is to help them when they need help, like it says in Matthew 25: 31-46.
I knew a woman, she was a drug addict with children, and I pleaded for her to get clean and to be a good Mom for her children, she told me that if she got clean then she would not have any friends to help her and to give her rides to the store, etc, etc, etc. It was all BULLSHIT. She should have been able to get clean and then go to Church and the Christians need to help women like that who need help.
The Christians need to help the homeless, and the orphans, and the drug addicts, and the poor widows with children, and the Christians need to feed the hungry, etc. As we help people then we can bring them to Christ. We also need to minister to people in prison, etc, we need to bring them all to Christ.
We have some new movies, "The Jesus Revolution" and "The Sound of Freedom" and there is the television show "The Chosen" and more Christian television shows and movies need to be made.
And there is a music school in Rome, Italy, where they are teaching music to Christians, The Saint Louis College of Music, they are training the Christian musicians of the future.
And there are YMCA summer camps for the Children. I worked for the Burbank YMCA at a summer camp for 2 summers as a teen serving God.
Here in Anaheim we have the Calvary Chapel Open Door Church and the Church needs to serve the community, and the homeless need to be welcome, and all people need to be welcome at the Calvary Chapel Open Door Church.

https://ccopendoor.org/And Pope Francis is a great Pope, Pope Francis is going to bring China to Christ, the Chinese love Pope Francis. We need to love the Chinese, and we can bring them to Christ.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.
We need to love our neighbors, and we need to do loving service. We need to help people, and we need to feed people, etc. That is how we will bring people to Christ.
Salute,
