Biblical principles for how I approach my work, my colleagues, and my conduct in the workplace.

I affirm and commit to the following biblical principles as the foundation for my conduct and approach to work in the workplace. I believe that my work is ultimately done “as to the Lord,” and therefore I offer every task, decision, and responsibility to Him as an act of worship.

The quality and integrity of my work reflects my faith and honors God.

• Seeking to do great work—the best possible work in the best possible way.
• Working hard and refusing to be slack or careless in my responsibilities.
• Committing all my works unto the Lord, trusting that He will establish my thoughts.
• Offering everything I do and everything I am working on to God.

Working with others brings a better reward for our labor and reflects the way God designs people to build together.

• Understanding that “great work” is defined by serving wholeheartedly as for the Lord, not merely human masters.
• Recognizing that collaboration is itself a form of work, following the example of the craftsmen who built the Tabernacle together.
• Focusing faithfully on my own work and responsibilities.
• Minding my own business and not involving myself in matters that do not concern me.

Honoring workplace authority is an expression of biblical submission and a sign of trust in God’s ordering of my life.

• Following what management directs without a rebellious spirit.
• Maintaining a respectful attitude even when I disagree with decisions.
• Offering wise, godly counsel when appropriate, while ultimately submitting to leadership decisions.

This posture does not mean abandoning wisdom or godly counsel, but it calls me to keep a humble and cooperative spirit even in disagreement.

My interactions must reflect Christ’s love and character; gossip, slander, and bitterness have no place in a workplace that honors God.
