So, if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give you property of your own? (New International …show more content…

Proposed church model There are certain strengths in existing church models, but they will not be able to address all the concerns and the context in this paper. In the situation of addressing poverty in the local community and with the pursuit of the mission, a contextualized church model that provides a holistic approach will be needed. Referring to a previous mission statement of a Christian organization which was "to bring the Church to the people, then bring the people back to the Church", I will propose a contextualized church model with the emphasis of going to the people and bringing the people to the church. This model will include the proclamation of the gospel to the poor, reaching out to them, serving and helping them, advocating social justice for them and teaching them as disciples and bringing them to the church to worship together.

In the Gospel of Luke, we are introduced to a Jesus who has significant authority in the businesses of others, even when he would not be considered an expert on the subject (Luke 5:1-5).

Leaders must work hard through hiring, training, and performance management systems to bring in the right employees and then help employees internalize the organization’s underlying values. Ethical leadership from the top is very important- because it creates an environment in which lower-level ethical leaders can flourish- but ethical leadership at the supervisory level has a huge impact on followers’ attitudes and behavior. Unethical Influences Companies rely on employees to produce and deliver high-quality products and services.
