False Leaders (long article, but worth the read)

OCCUPATIONAL STATUS

Colossians 3:22-4:1 "Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven."

Respect of persons is prosopolepsia in Greek, meaning partiality: judgment with respect to the outward circumstances of a man and not to intrinsic merits.

1 Corinthians 7:21 "Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use itrather."

There is no sin in being an employee (servant) or an employer (master), but there are responsibilities which both are to fulfill. You can make the best of your opportunities, or be content in your current position. The important thing is to work under God's supreme authority.
