What Would Jesus Do If He is an Employee?

There are two questions that can help you in making right decision on ethical issues.
1. What would Jesus do (WWJD) if He were in your position?
2. If a newspaper write what you will do and all people who know you well read it, will you be embarrased?

Let's get down to business. I think, if someone works for an employer, it is his obligation that he spent all his time from 9 AM to 5 PM doing only the things that relate directly to his job for the good of his company. That's what he is paid for.

So, how should a Christian employee work? Here are some of the things that should NOT be done by a Christian employee in office hours.
  • Unproductive chatting with fellow workers or on the Internet. Office hours are not for chatting about things that have nothing to do with job.
  • Opening, reading and writing e-mails which are out of your job responsibilities.
  • Come late to office and go before appointed time.
  • Sleep!
  • Reading newspapers
  • Eating and drinking
  • Practically doing anything that fails any of the above two test questions.
Let's make your work life this week a sacrifice pleasing to God, your employer and, of course, yourself.

"The productivity of a nation is the sum of the productivity of all its citizens."
