The Righteousness Of Any Church

Even with diversity in various religious backgrounds these CEO continue to perform in a manner which demonstrates love and goodness. Again, Duby (2014) stated in his commentary that even if one works in a place where their religious views cannot be outwardly spoken one can still honor God in how they treat each other. Many CEOs today do not advertise what religious affiliation they adhere to, but they still show their efforts to operate as an image bearer of God in how they engage and honor their employees, stakeholders and customers. Servant leaders seek to invest in the lives of their people as demonstrated in the leader’s willingness to give of themselves to meet the needs of their people.

Countries disintegrate, place of worship and corporation fail, people become dysfunctional, descendants lose their direction, and mankind drift from God on behalf of one distracting reason; insufficiency of leadership. These disappointments are often for the reason that of the deficiency of instruction, appropriate leadership, and misperception on what Christian leadership subsists and exactly how that leadership is pertinent to every component of professional and personal life. From a Christian worldview perspective, Psalm 112:5 explains, “A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion” (NKJ). A Christian manager should always keep in mind that bounteousness and admiration for God, demonstrates that one has placed trust in Him, and not our material possessions.

First and foremost, it is common knowledge that spirituality champions for good morals, equity, respect for human dignity, ethics and equality among all members of the human race. It is the above virtues that facilitate harmony and peaceful coexistence of human beings in all our day to day interactions. Reinhold, from his studies conducted in one of Detroit’s big automobile factories, noted numerous conflicts between Christian ideals and the realities that were in the industry. Surprisingly enough, Edward Earle conducted a research on twelve of America’s major corporations and urged all Americans to emulate them, a totally different thought from what

Their public image is caring for and nurturing the health of the communities they are serving. Finally, their self-concept of business is using Christ to help care for those that need it, and nurturing the health of everyone else in the community.

In Romans 1-8 Paul is writing to teach the doctrine of Christ. Although Paul goes into much more depth in these eight chapters, his message ultimately boils down to the following sentence. We have all sinned and deserve death, however, through the redemption and sanctification of Christ we have been saved and should now lead, Christ centered lives of faith.

Valerie I agree that it is wise to have faith in God even from a business standpoint. It is often hard in today’s society though to put God first in the decision making. I remember back in 2012 when Chick-fil-A was going through a hard time because one of the chief operating officers (Dan Cathy) made a remark about opposing same-sex marriage. He has his right to state an opinion but having friends that are lesbian and gay I had to side with my friends. The remarks seemed to come from a place of hate and he offended so many people by his statement. I do believe that Christians should not hide their beliefs but sometimes in a business setting one person who states an opinion could wreck the business and ultimately leave a Christian owned company

In today’s business environment, consumers aware of unethical behavior affecting small and large-scale businesses. In most cases, organizations suffer damage reputation, shareholders options decline, revenue decline and employee moral suffers. In order to prevent unethical behavior organizations should consider Christian Principles when developing policies and procedures to prevent unethical behavior. The role of business in God’s creation is not only the institution that human beings operates in, it is an environment that people are task with carrying out specific duties and responsibilities according to specific laws and regulations. The paper will examine why business matters to God and concepts of Agnosticism, Annihilation, and Adoption.

I think understanding the Bible more in depth can help to set the tone and distinguish. This alone can become a challenge for businesses on many levels. You mentioned a business incorporating an culture of inclusiveness. I found that “the latest Gallup research showed that the most engaged employees are those working in an open, fair and diverse environment. Conversely, organizations that cultivate engagement will most likely be fostering an inclusiveness culture that embraces diversity” (Hart, 2012). Fischer explains that God takes pleasure in diversity. In 1 Corinthians 12:14 (ESV) says, “For the body does not consist of one member but of many”. This pertains to you mr body having a variety of organs internally to function properly. This ties into the beauty of having diversity in the midst to obtain healthy and prosperous relationships, equally without forcing and implying beliefs, that could be offensive on other people. You mentioned as Christians to treat individuals as God will treat them. This is great to incorporate as a Christian CEO because you are able to view situations into different perspectives and not from a bias standpoint. An example would also be the Golden rule that you mentioned also in your discussion. I think this idea is great and could be effective for future

Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding why organizations fail and spirituality in the workplace. While many organizations make the claim that God is a stakeholder, these words are of non-effect unless the leader first partakes in whatever is necessary to ensure the followers share the vision and are led by example.

iii) On biblical grounds the Church is a community of both saints & sinners. Separation only comes at final judgement. Therefore ‘two’ churches: the essential/invisible church contained within the outward empirical church. (To what extent did this distinction allow for the development of corruption within the empirical church?)

As time passes, the expectations that society has on women has changed. Many of these expectations had to be met for the woman to be ‘complete’ with her role in society. In Rowlandson’s time, her expectations were to be a housewife, a mother, and a religious follower. Rowlandson’s, “The sovereignty and Goodness of God” demonstrates the role she had when she was in the colonies and how that role changed as she became captive by the Natives. From her writings, one can infer her place at home and how that changed as she became captive.

Integrating faith and business, is one of the common dilemma faced by most of the managers. Is this accepted by the religion or not? What to do next if I am not following the religious teaching in a right way are the chains of questions which circles the mind of a business person. Business is an area where people has to act sometimes unethical even if they don 't want. Religiously binded managers always try their best to take their faith and the laws of business in a parallel way. Every religion has their own set of rules which shows the right path to conduct the society and help the members of the society.

In this paper an attempted analysis is made to answer the following questions from both a legal and spiritual perspective: What should be done about continuing doing business with Marshall? If you elect to stop doing business with Marshall, what legal causes of action might he bring against your company, what damages or remedies might he seek, and what legal defenses might your company have? Also, if you stop doing business with Marshall, what are the potential impacts on Marshall’s continued exploration of his faith? What biblical options are available for resolving your disputes with Marshall?

An organization guided by Christian principles will build a structural solid foundation. As a follower of Christ, “communication” is [essentially] required to fulfill the responsibility of advocating Christianity. In a business setting the benefit of applying Christian values to provide guidance that will affirm the foundations of an organization. The philosophy of promoting growth and sustainability with any establishment is to follow the organization's vision and mission. Smith (2011) expresses the importance of fulfilling one’s purpose with God by building interpersonal relationships, “Indeed we can only hope to fulfill our vocations if we learn the grace and strength of working with others in

There are going to be times in our lives when we disagree with what someone says or another person’s opinions on a particular matter. It’s unlikely that we will agree and be content with everything that happens in our lives as we do not live in a utopian world. It is also inevitable at one time or another that we will disagree with what the Church is teaching us especially when it comes to moral issues such as divorce, birth control, and abortion. This is called non-reception. When non-reception ensues in the Church, the teaching in question is ineffectively expressed or judged to be unbelievable by a large population of good, faithful Catholics (Kennedy).
