Sometimes a corporate culture dictates the way business is conducted because it was established years before, or it is an integral part of the ways how to conduct successful business in this industry.
Sometimes simply inherit whatever the accepted practice is....
Some of these practices violate a biblical principle.
Some businesses withhold payment on invoices for sixty, ninety or one hundred twenty days as a form of cash management, which places a heavy burden on suppliers. Some government custom's employees require a bribe in order to get your product into their country. One nation thinks nothing about their practice of software piracy because it has simply become a part of their culture. ....
God never allows for situational ethics.
There are absolutes in the Kingdom of God. The Word of God does not change because of culture or accepted practice. ....
God calls each of us to operate from a plumb line of righteousness in our work life, no matter the consequence.
Zerubbabel was a leader who managed with integrity and righteousness. He was a man who God and others wanted in charge.
"Men will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel" (Zech 4:10).
At present I am in Benguela, Angola, West Africa; the money U$ is good..BUT...
I Evaluated my industry practices of what I am presently with (Casino Industry), and I am sure I am violating God's Word.....
I am changing industries...........
God WILL provide........ like always, again !
Let your plumb line ALSO be measured by His precepts.
