Today the business
grows by marketing, advertising, word-of-mouth and affiliation with
area coalitions for the aging. God has provided Bobbi's and
Jeanette's business with employees that minister to the individual
needs of their clients as He shines through their care.
“We cannot separate our
faith from our business!”
I. The Golden Rule is
a comprehensive rule
All
things whatsoever. If there is anything we would that men should do
unto us, it becomes our duty to do the same for them. Ex: respect,
kindness, patience, courtesy, etc. Consider Philippians 2:3-4.
II. The Golden Rule is
an introspective rule
All things whatsoever ye would. Living by the "Golden Rule" requires
that we examine our own hearts. Ref. II Corinthians 13:5 – "examine
yourselves, whether ye be in the faith."
III. The Golden Rule
is a universal rule
All
things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you. "Men", as
used here, is a general term, meaning those of all sexes (male or
female), character, race, or religion. No one, whether friend or
enemy, is excluded. See Galatians 6:10.
IV. The Golden Rule is
an active rule
Do ye even so to them. The "Golden Rule" requires action on our
part, not just feelings. It is not enough to merely be sympathetic
to or feel an interest in others. Consider James 2:15-16.
V. The Golden Rule is
an all-inclusive rule
"For this is the law and the prophets." Jesus’ words point out that
whatever the law would compel a man to do, his love would have
caused him to do it anyway.
