not by way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.
Doing obedience from the heart is nothing less than a total commitment to obey the one who is in authority over us. Regardless
Yet, hear me out. Such obedience DOES NOT mean blindly following orders. So, then, how do we obey when we questions regarding what someone wants us to do?
Here are my thoughts:
remember that God has called us to respect others, so when questions or concerns arise, talk them over with that individual. Maybe there was a misunderstanding on your expectations, maybe another way could be found that wouldn’t compromise your Christian values, and…maybe if there is simply no way that you could remain a person of integrity if you were to obey, you decide to look for another job.
So be all in when submitting to authorities, while knowing that a greater authority, namely God Himself, has your back as you trust him
