Employee Or Slave
1 Timothy 6:1 All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God's name and our teaching may not be slandered.
Ever work for a guy who treats you like you were nothing. He thinks I'm his slave or something. There has to be laws against this kind of boss! I suppose there is. We certainly live in a different environment than Paul did. Here in America, we can form unions and bargain for better wages and benefits. There is OSHA and the Department of Labor, lawyers and so much more, and we also can just quit and get another job or start our own company. Really, we have it made compared to Paul's day.
K and A, be careful not to join in all the hullabaloo that is found in the work place. Complaining and name calling, accusations and the like destroys the unity that need to exist for work to get done effectively. If you are being treated wrongly, than file the right complaints, otherwise consider your boss a master worthy of full respect and do what they ask with smiles and eagerness. Work will go so much more pleasant and enjoyable and normally, your boss will respond well to your attitude. God will be pleased as well for his name and the church will not be maligned.
