CHRISTIAN MANAGEMENT

LIVING WITHIN THE LAW

(LIVING IN THE SPIRIT WITHIN THE LAW)

This paper is designed to help you

          Consider the need for legitimate authority

      Reflect on circumstances when compliance is difficult

      Consider how to plan prayer into what we do and say

      Consider how to act with God's help in specific situations

And so be more ready and able to only challenge authority when it is right to do so and with a view to helping to bring about God's Kingdom on earth.

 "The letter of the Law brings death, but the Spirit brings Life." (2 Corinthians 3:6)  We are ministers of the new covenant, written on our hearts not on stone or paper.  As Christians we should strive to exceed the legal requirements of a secular world and by so doing, demonstrate the power of the love of Christ.  In a world beset by red tape, acronyms and inspecting bodies, how should we react to Audits, OFSTED, Sarbanes-Oxley, Child Protection Regulations, Political Correctness, etc; how do we discern the just from the unjust?
