		<description>Very good teaching, as well as personal insight! I think it's pretty much summed up in the concept of OUT OF LOVE (that which God has birthed within us) we serve. It's within the new nature He has given us. Period. 

But you know, sometimes it's difficult to do; that, in regards to "business". 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's attitude of humility, I've found that the Christians are the worst offenders when it comes to being taken advantage of as a result of that humbleness. It's sad, really. So tell me, where does one "draw the line" per se? Scripturally, I'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 "Christian" card in excuse for their behavior patterns. Unfortunately, I'm feeling lately that it'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>
