Abstract

One of the great spiritual warfare battlegrounds relates to the integrity issue. The practice of SLHRM is challenging in all arenas, sacred or secular. We face great spiritual warfare temptations to renounce our godly inheritance of righteous conduct and adopt self-serving standards of success. Hence, like the nation of Israel, we “return to Egypt” and accept the toils of slavery in return for security in meeting our short-term needs. It requires great character strength to resist the powerful incentives to compromise our values. We need to seek the Holy Spirit’s help to be “wise as serpents and innocent as doves” (Matthew 10:16, NRSV). Our task is complicated by the deceptive nature of the human heart, as we fall prey to the traps, snares, and value compromises that on the surface appear moral and ethical. It is important for SLHRM organizations to work collaboratively to create a culture of righteous motives, means, and ends in all aspects of HR practice. SLHRM organizations demonstrate the love and power of Christ and an alternative to “business as usual.” Regrettably, many Christians and Christian organizations are less faithful and passionate in practicing SLHRM principles and the Golden Rule than secular organizations.
