Old Jerry Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Christian employers should conduct themselves toward their employees with respect. They should lead and not use a whip on them. They should pay them a decent pay so they can live on that pay. The church boards should conduct themselves the same way that employers are to treat their employees. I think a just wage is one that a person can live on and not be a burden to society. The wage should be one that is commensurable to the area that they are doing the work of the Lord.

lighthouse2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Q4. (Ephesians 6:9) How should Christian employers conduct themselves towards their employees? How should church boards conduct themselves towards church employees? How do you determine a just wage -- not merely the one you think you can afford? Christian employers are to conduct themselves as an example to their employees, being fair in wages and no respecter of persons. Church boards should conduct themselves as any private business would, fair in wages, no respecter of persons and knowing they too are serving the Lord. To determine a just wage, the individual or employer should know what the minimum wages are, how much it would cost to do the job, wages and materials and time to do the job are all to be considered.

JoanG Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Employers need to be fair to all employees. They need to lead by example. There has to be fair pay for work done. Church boards are especially to act as trustworthy employers. They need to be fair in all of their decisions. I think a just wage is one based on an average of the going rate in a locality where the job is held. You can not compare a very rich neighborhood to a ghetto type of neighborhood.

(Ephesians 6:9) How should Christian employers conduct themselves towards their employees? How should church boards conduct themselves towards church employees? How do you determine a just wage -- not merely the one you think you can afford? With respect and fairness. To be a loving example to what a true employer should be. The wage should be on what kind of job they are doing, and the longer they work for you the wage should go up, more experience they will have and if they work well.

hanks Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Q57. (Ephesians 6:9) How should Christian employers conduct themselves towards their employees? How should church boards conduct themselves towards church employees? How do you determine a just wage - not merely the one you think you can afford? In exactly the same way employees treat their employers, being guided by the same principles. They should be fair, kind, and honest. They should always remember that they have a Father also, the same Father who is in heaven that the employee has. Earthly distinctions are levelled in the presence of the Lord. Both employer and employee will one day give an account to Him. Church boards are no exception, the same applies to them, perhaps even more stringently applied. It is up to the employer to determine a just wage, in other words a living wage. The employer should not think how cost efficient or smart they are when paying minimum wages.

How should church boards conduct themselves towards church employees? How do you determine a just wage -- not merely the one you think you can afford? Christian Masters and employees should beware they have a Master in heaven. They should thus be transparent, just, pay appropriate reward or wages and should not be segregation in their dealing with employees or servants.

Krissi Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 How should Christian employers conduct themselves towards their employees? How should church boards conduct themselves towards church employees? How do you determine a just wage -- not merely the one you think you can afford? The principle of mutuality with difference, as applied to husbands and wives, also applies to employees and employers. In a way, this is the basis of the radical egalitarianism of the early American republic (which we've jettisoned, sadly.) Interesting questions about church boards and just wages, Pastor Ralph ... here's an anecdote for you. My father, an atheist, told me an interesting story. He said that he had thought it would be good for his career, at one point, to join a church and so began to attend the local United Presbyterian church. He was, and is, an atheist, was upfront about his disbelief in the church, but they seemed unconcerned. Within a short time, he was put on the elder board, and soon after that, the pastor's salary and benefits came up for a vote. My father -- now, remember, he's an atheist -- was horrified at the cavalier way they treated this man and his family. He voted for a much larger salary than they thought they could afford, and was reasonably persuasive about getting them to raise their paltry original amount. The next day, he said, the minister came by our home unannounced to speak with my father. In tears, because for the last year he had had barely enough to survive, he had wanted to thank my father for the salary increase. My father was so upset and angered at this scene, that he continued to attend that church just to protect the minister. When we moved house, he didn't go to church. He'd had enough of "religion." Good witness, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Employers are to treat their employees with the same kind of respect, faithfulness, integrity that God expects of employees. Church boards should conduct themselves in giving good working conditions for you, a decent and fair wage and days off for rest. God holds you responsible for how you act towards those over whom he has placed you. They should give them a fair wage in accordance what the pay is for that particular job.

Jonathan Edwards Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Christain employers are to follow the basic standards of management. They are to abide by Union contracts and company ethics. Being a major telecommunications company for years, compliance with high ethics are crucial. It was taught over and over again about customer privacy, customer information and working diligently for the company. Financial renumeration cannot be below the market value. A Christain employer cannot short change an employee; it is not ethical. Church boards need to abide by strict Biblical standards and follow professional employment procedures. A church board cannot be runned like an average business board meeting; it must be composed of men that are solidly imbued with Gospel values. A board needs to be composed of seasoned business leaders with sound business acumen. Market value is an important factor. It can be a tough call. Many churches may not be large enough to pay a full time preacher. I myself have not received a weekly pay check for evangelical endeavors. But for years, I was employed in the private sector.

Old Jerry Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 They should know that they are working for the same person that the employee is and that is the Master of the Universe. The church board should also conduct themselves towards church employees because they were doing God’s work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
