Agreed. While we should "trust the plan" of Christ's return, does not mean we sit by and do nothing. This concept has corrupted the American church and the biggest reason we are where we are at. The Bible mentions a similar problem with some Thessalonians not doing anything because the thought Jesus was returning soon:
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching you received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.” 2 Thessalonians 3:6-10
