Work Place Integrity

From the Jul 24, 2005 post ...

There was an ad/message i heard over K-Life on the challenges we face to keep Christ-like integrity in the workplace. It start was a conversation between a boss and her suboordinate and it went something like this: -

Boss: Hi, the will be a person calling me up on the phone later, can you please tell that i am not in?

Guy: Will you be stepping out? I can't can't say you are not around when the fact you are.

Boss: I just want to avoid the call. Couldn't you do me a favour?

Guy: Well i think it will be more assuring to know that a peson will not lie for you and at the same time will no like to you won't you think so?

It's really hard to strike a right balance between living up to Godly standard and to Earthly standard. Though deep in our hearts we know there is only one standard to follow, yet we constanlty struggle...

I was again lead to the verse penned by Peter in his First letter:

Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened." But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

1 Peter 3:13-17

One way we could to face this, is to face it with our fellow brother and sister in Christ. Encourage one another, pray for one another, share the challenges, testimonies for standing up for the Lord, in small groups or just among friends!
