Five Ways to Adorn the Gospel at Work

    In our Bible Class last week we talked about ways to adorn the gospel we believe and to glorify our Lord in daily living. Here are five suggestions for all of us who are employed in public work.

1. Be submissive and obedient to your employer, whether he is a believer or an unbeliever. You are hired and paid to do a job. Do it with all your heart as unto the Lord.

1. Seek to please your employer and give satisfaction in ever way. Pride of workmanship and production is not to be condemned; laziness and indifference are a disgrace to the gospel.

1. Do not talk back nor contradict. Do not reply to others in a sarcastic, saucy, or grumbling manner. The boss may not always be right, but he is always the boss!

1. Do not steal from your firm in either time, money, nor things which you consider of small value. Do not convert to your own use, without permission, that which belongs to the company.

1. Prove yourselves to be loyal, reliable, and faithful. It is not loyalty nor faithfulness to criticize and find fault with your employer behind his back. Keep trusts and confidences which are committed to you.

    In fulfilling the part of a good servant and loyal employee, you are able to adorn the gospel you believe! You make that gospel attractive to others as they see you walk worthy of it.
