I have been talking and preaching ethics for the last three years. The more I talk with people I am finding that churches have been corrupted by politics, even worse, political agenda's. Politics corrupts. And when you have individuals inside your organizations teaching how bad other people are, you will never act ethically. Ethics is so vital when we conduct our lives, our churches and our businesses. Politics corrupts and creates division, conflicts and disputes, and that is not how we are to live. Focus on what you do as a church - you serve. You have forgotten that because politics has destroyed the belief in serving or service. As a business, focus on what you do, how you build things, how you build people up within your companies, on your communities and how you can help them. If you have politics you loose sight of what you are ethically suppose to do for your stockholders, employees and consumers. Ethics should be the goal of our lives on a daily basis, how we treat and respect others that don't believe as we do. How we work together to make our communities better. And the list of ethical cooperation continues if we focus on them and do not let politics corrupt our mission of service.
