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.

Just when inflation was subsiding, California announced their plan to increase the minimum wage from $16 per hour to $20 for most fast-food restaurant employees. When payroll taxes are added, this will increase restaurant labor costs over 27%. 

Because businesses exist by making a profit, employees will be laid-off and menu prices will increase. The people impacted the most will be the people the politicians claimed to be helping. 

In Romans 7:10, Paul said, “I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.” 

Originally, Paul believed that the law would bring life, but without freedom in Christ it actually brought death. The law had costly consequences.  

Likewise, sometimes the rules we develop for our businesses harm more than they help. Carefully consider the consequences.
