What we do at work is part
of who we are. We cannot compartmentalize how we conduct ourselves in the
business world from how we conduct ourselves at home or at church. To
compromise in one area is to compromise our entire testimony. The
business world can be a particularly demanding atmosphere for a person who
wants to live in a God-honoring way. The corporate conditioning is
purposeful and intense, and there is not always an opportunity for deviating
from the corporate script. But the call to Christians is simple:
“Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks through Him to God the Father” (Colossians 3:17). No matter what
we do and no matter the level of authority that we have, everything we say and
do must be for God’s glory. If we can’t do what we are doing in a
God-honoring way, we need to do something else.
