For those who fear putting out lazy adult children because they think it will turn them away from God!
If someone is turned away from God because they are disciplined to be accountable then they would only be choosing God because of what they could get out of you. If they do not choose God because God and you did not allow them to be lazy then their excuses for resisting God are nothing more than manipulation to keep everyone on the string.
We do not choose God because of what He can give us, we are more likely to seek God when we have had to feel the brunt of the consequences of our sin of laziness.
Keeping a lazy adult child in the home merely delays the growing process, the older they become the less likely they will learn to fly on their own.
Expect the child to get a job and leave and he will have to find away. Coddle him while in the home without any expectations and you have doomed him to a life of dependence on someone after you die.
2 Thessalonians 3:10-11 " 10 For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.” 11 Yet we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives and accomplishing nothing but being busybodies.…"
