		<description>Very good teaching, as well as personal insight! I think it&#039;s pretty much summed up in the concept of OUT OF LOVE (that which God has birthed within us) we serve. It&#039;s within the new nature He has given us. Period. 

But you know, sometimes it&#039;s difficult to do; that, in regards to &quot;business&quot;. I am a Christian. I do business with a lot of Christians. And to be blunt, they are the WORST to do business with! Despite my servant&#039;s attitude of humility, I&#039;ve found that the Christians are the worst offenders when it comes to being taken advantage of as a result of that humbleness. It&#039;s sad, really. So tell me, where does one &quot;draw the line&quot; per se? Scripturally, I&#039;ve been seeking the answer to that in my own profession because I have been taken advantage of repeatedly (in the business sense) by a couple Christian business people that I associate with, who just continue to take advantage despite having been told about their behavior on more than one occasion. And they always try to play the &quot;Christian&quot; card in excuse for their behavior patterns. Unfortunately, I&#039;m feeling lately that it&#039;s time to sever ties with them (professionally, at least) and allow them to learn the error of their own ways. What are your thoughts???</description>
