Less than a decade ago, however, America was experiencing a transitional economy in which layoffs were understood to be an integral part corporate life. Good jobs were difficult to find. Severe economic shifts caused a fair amount of concern and discontent among American workers. The security of a lifetime job in the private sector had ended. The future looked uncertain. But even with enjoyment of prosperity in the present, such uncertainty can and will return. And, of course, all of the security in this world is merely tentative. This awareness should cause us to reflect on the things that last. Do not biblical principles warn us against forgetting moral obligations in the bountiful times? Do we take heed of these warnings?
