Religion and Business
Romans 12:11
Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;


Diligence in business should not hinder fervency in spirit. Like the pure mettled sword, that can bend this way and that way, and turns to its straightness again, and stands not bent, that heart is of the right make that can stoop and bend to the lowest action of its worldly calling, but then return to its fitness for communion with God.

(W.Gurnall.)
