What the Bible says about Employment...

Employees are to work as though God were their boss.
"Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free." Ephesians 6:7-8, NIV.

Employees should be trustworthy.
"Like the coolness of snow at harvest time is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him; he refreshes the spirit of his masters." Proverbs 25:13, NIV.

Christians should be known as those who do their best.
"Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive." Titus 2:9-10, NIV.

Does attitude on the job matter?
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men" Colossians 3:23, NIV.

Exploitation of workers by employers does not escape God's notice.
"Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty." James 5:4, NIV.

A man who fails to work to provide for his family denies the faith.
"If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." I Timothy 5:8, NIV.
