In the past when our nation had a strong Christian influence this combination led to our nation being known for quality workmanship. Because our nation as a whole has turned away from its moral standards and we have failed in our Christian influence in the workplace, everyone is suffering. Christians are mocked because we do not exemplify a Biblical standard in our business lifestyles. Many of the younger generation were not taught proper work habits and now have difficulty in holding a job. Children's messy rooms are a symptom of how a generation of parents has neglected to teach their children this truth while they were growing up.
Training involves more than just teaching.
The best teachers teach not only the procedure for doing a job, but also a set of values for producing that job. Whatever reasons we give for our neglect in training our children, the truth is we did not take the time needed to train our children properly. We are a world in a hurry which is a big hindrance to good workmanship. Slothfulness, shoddy workmanship and disorganization reflect a lack of caring. Many people take short cuts that hamper the quality of the job, just to finish the task so they can eliminate any problems of the moment.
