Do you chafe under your boss's authority?

WRITTEN BY STEVE MARR

Scripture asks us, "Do you want to have no fear of authority?" (Romans 13:3 NASB).

In our jobs, we need to have an appropriate fear of our boss. We should not be fearful every minute of losing our job, but we need to have an appropriate fear that encourages us to turn in reports on time, serve customers well, and produce the best quality products. The concern for reprimand, correction, and discipline will improve our work. Respect for your boss's authority helps you grow in your job.

In the Word

Scripture asks us, "Do you want to have no fear of authority?" (Romans 13:3 NASB).
