Business

 The Bible offers many principles about business, emphasizing integrity, hard work, stewardship, fairness, and trust in God. Here are some key teachings:

  • Colossians 3:23 – "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord."
    📌 Lesson: Success comes through hard work, not shortcuts. Serve customers as if serving God.

3. Fair Wages and Just Treatment

  • James 5:4 – "The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you."
