Larry Burkett says, "Few Christians who view their work as a chore have much of a witness on or off the job." True, True. The Bible says the servant should serve his master as if serving the Lord himself. That principle to slaves of that time translate almost directly to the attitude that an employee ought to have toward his work and his supervisors. Many religious people think their faith gives them the right to relax their efforts; some even claim they are "sons of the King," as if that gave them the right to do less than their best. If they stopped and thought a while, they would realize that it means they will do superior work and show an exemplary attitude.

"Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men" (Proverbs 22:29 NASB).
