About This Video

Summary: 
Howard Butt, Jr. shares another message about faith and work, pointing out that unethical business practices are a sure path to problems. Acting with moral integrity is more than just good business. It's what we're called to do!

We are supposed to be "as wise as serpents," without becoming them ourselves. That can mean making some pretty unpopular decisions, but all we can do is make them thoughtfully and prayerfully, and trust that for us, the ethical choice is the only choice.
