English term or phrase: expecting everything to be organised for them
Thou shalt not steal
Lest children assume that Sunday School teachers think that only common thieves steal, outline some of the wide-scale forms of fraud and corruption which are perpetrated in modern day society by:
a) The authorities. ...
b) Citizens. ...
c) Children. ...
d) Young people steal when they accept their daily needs from their parents without feeling any obligation to help with household jobs; others steal by not bothering to work sufficiently hard to obtain a job within their reach, 'scrounging' off others instead. Even young believers in a church may steal by ***expecting everything to be organised for them***, instead of contributing to the Lord's work by their own efforts. How good it is to hear of children and young people who express and show gratitude for what is done for them!
