The place for Christian values in business and government

Is there a place for Christian values in government, and in the business that is part of this economical world of ours? Without Christian values put in place would all come tumbling down?

Well here's one, the code to live by if you were to place value on just about anything you do in your life, may it be spiritual, with your family, and yes in your business dealings, and too in the way you support your government.



To quote the words of Jesus, according to Mark's testimony in Mark 12:28- 12:33, Mark had asked Jesus, Of which commandment is the more important to live by? Jesus said to him, The Lord is one, Love the Lord God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.

Jesus also said to Mark, Mark 12:31, The second is, Love your neighbor as you love yourself, He said there is no commandment greater than these.

To live by such in fashion is to have guidance, call it divine, call it knowledge, even call it the right path. Though to live your life with regard for our Lord's teachings, and inspiration given, will bear an increase in everything you do, and in every dealing you have with another, may it be with your family, someone in your church, even in your business dealings, and too will support you when there are decisions to be made in support of our government.

Then you must ask, Is there a place for Christian values in business, and government? Simply take a look at the world we live in today, and ask ourselves how our current government affects our private lives? Whether you realize it or not, its effect is present in just about any public dealing we experience in our lives. And too in what we consider to be our private lives, from anything to controlling our mortgage interest on our homes, to what percentage of the tax dollar  government earns from our salary income, and too just about every law put in place that we will follow in our social lives.

And big business, they too affect our lives in a very big way. They host the very jobs that we seek to provide for ourselves, and our families, they too are the venues that we use for goods, and services, may they be the services we are required to use through government law, as to say, registering our cars, and insuring them, then there are the venues that we find to be necessary, as to say our medical provisions, like doctor visits, and medication. And of course provisions like the food on the table to feed our families, and the clothing we buy.
