Old Testament Joseph’s heart models some great leadership characteristics. Someone asked me once what I primarily look for in the hiring of a staff position.

The Divine Paradox of God’s Sovereignty and Meaningful Human Choice – Blog – Eternal Perspective Ministries
I once spoke to eighty college students about a sensitive theological question: “Can true Christians lose their salvation?” First, I asked them to commit themselves to a yes or no answer.

God’s word is perfect and effective in guiding us in how to live as citizens and employees. In many ways, we are “slaves” to the workplace, and the way we work for our employer matters—it matters to God.
