Business administration was my favorite subject and my major while I was attending college. Through my studies I gained a better understanding and appreciation of the complexities one faces in the business world. After attaining my degree, I entered the business community and, in addition to my college training, began to apply the teachings of Christian Science to many situations that I confronted, including the following.

Soon after college I discovered that my employer was sporadically engaged in illegal and immoral business activities. I discussed this with an associate, who suggested that because the activity was harming no one, the activity was justified. Feeling uncomfortable with this rationalization, I asked for prayerful help from a Christian Science practitioner.

During the ensuing weeks I deepened my study of Christian Science. Through prayer I began to understand better man's relationship to God. I saw that in a profound spiritual sense man must be forever upright and obedient to God's law. Furthermore, I gained a God-directed sense of my own integrity. I knew that if I followed the divine leading, I would not be left compromised in an immoral business situation.
