This term has been batted about so much, but no one has ever really said what a 'christian company' means to them. So whether it be a trucking company or corner grocery store. What to you makes a 'christian company'?

 

Usually, just that phrase. Companies tend to throw it around, thinking it helps business. IMHO, actions speak louder than words. Take Covenant, for example - They claim to be a "Christian based company", yet they have done some things to their drivers that aren't very christian like. Things like having their employees sign forms waiving their workman's comp rights.

"Christian based", indeed. :roll:

 

You hit the nail on the head with that one! The ones that have to tell you they are a "Christian based company" are NOT doing something right.

They will be known by their actions.

 

None of the above;

In my experience, (with a few exceptions)the more "Christian" business owners claim to be, the closer you need to guard your wallet!!

 

Back when "TRUCKING FOR JESUS" was still in business, I picked up at a customer in IL. They have women working the dock, and they give you a spray-can of black paint, then tell you to go in your trailer and paint over anything that could have sexual connotations. They also said that any of the companies that have something to do with religion seem to have the most "OFFENDING" trailers. TRUCKING FOR JESUS was one that had the insides of the trailers painted almost completely black.

Sort of makes you wonder about the "CHRISTIAN COMPANIES". I've never worked for one, but from what I've heard from a number of other drivers, it's a front.

 

YEAH RIGHT NO CHRISTIAN COMPANIES I HAVE FOUND!

 

Those companies and people who profess the most to be Christian are the least. They seem to use it as an excuse for their actions.
I have found them to lie and cheat and when caught they pull the Jesus card.

 

I am a christian, but I agree 100% with you, and frankly so does Jesus,
He was never more mad at anyone then those that used Him and the Temple to conduct business, He was constanly driving business men and women out. It disgusts me to see the fish symbol and His name used as business cards or a way to drum up business,



As a christian I am more leary to use someone that has those logos , on top of the fact that due to these practices honest christian get a bad rap.

Let me add, that just because someone is a believer: The work place is not for christians to bible thump, I let my faith be know by my attitude and hard work, As long as what I did was legal, I did everything my boss asked no matter what.
And I shut up and worked ( not always a house mommy). The fellow christians I saw that stood around talking about this or that church service, well as I see it stealing from their employer, let me just say that they weren't being paid to talk, but work, if others have jobs that pay them to preach, so be it.

Its not easy to be a real christian, there are temptations every where, and stumble often, But never the less I am genuine in my faith, where I fail I know it, so do others and so does God, My life is transparent before Him, so there is no excuse and no hidding.

Thanks all that felt good to write.
Sorry dle is too far off topic.

 

Actually, don't think so. I put this poll up because of all the mentionings of this term - just nothing more. Your response was actually closer to what I was wanting to see.

I've been looking for responses that were more centered on what does the bible say on the subject.


Oh BTW, how are the flying lessons going? Hmm, I hijacked my own thread..

 

unrelated to the trucking biz.
