Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
Integrity Moments is a 60 second workday devotional that provides business leaders with helpful insight into what the Bible says about our work and how we can fully integrate our faith into our vocational calling.

We had a dinner meeting scheduled in Saint Louis County with some out-of-town guests. My wife, Kathy, called a restaurant to inquire about making a reservation.

The young hostess told Kathy that the County had just ordered all restaurants to close dine-in service. But, they had decided to “stick it to the man” and to remain open.

I understand fighting for the survival of your business, while I also suspect the County Executive felt he was doing what was best for the community. The tension makes for difficult business decisions.

Romans 13:2 proclaims, “Whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.”

There are times for civil disobedience, but carefully consider God’s perspective before taking that action.
