Christian business owners say spreading the Word is no marketing gimmick. They say they feel a calling to weave their religion into their business. That can mean everything from banning smoking or cursing on the job to paying a chaplain to be available to employees.

OK, here is the thing; those of us that choose to operate with business ethics 100% of the time, never have too much to worry about. If you are treating others the way you wish to be treated in business, then more times than not, you will be dealing with people that share the same principles.

Over the years I’ve found that God has honored every decision I made that was based on integrity. It didn’t always happen right away, but I can trace His faithfulness over and over again in the results of my life.

Business is about relationships and relationships are built on long-term commitments and established trust. Most of us violate promises every day on the job.
