Biblical Principles for the Workplace

I affirm and commit to the following principles.

1. I am called to do Diligent Work (Colossians 3:23). The best possible work in the best possible way.
2. I am called to work hard and never slack.
3. I am called to commit all my work to the Lord.
4. I understand that collaboration is a form of work, following the example of the craftsmen who worked together to build the Tabernacle in Exodus.
5. I am called to focus on my own work and responsibilities and not concern myself with matters that do not concern me.
6. I am called to submit to my earthly managers, giving counsel but always submitting to leadership unless they are explicitly contrary to God’s word.
7. I am called to never harbour bad feelings, speak badly of or gossip and slander my colleagues. Bitterness has no place in a Christian’s work.
8. I am called to embody these principles in my daily work. I acknowledge that I will fall short, but I trust in God’s forgiveness and transforming power to shape me into a worker who brings glory to Him.
