Swindlers!


            Nobody likes to be cheated. Cornelius Vanderbilt once wrote a letter to some of his business rivals expressing his outrage and retribution:
           
            Gentlemen:
            You have undertaken to cheat me. I will not sue you, for law takes too long. I will ruin you.
            Sincerely yours,
            Cornelius Vanderbilt

            Ever felt like that? God’s word continually proclaims the need for ethics in business and work. Here’s an example: Proverbs 11:11 The LORD abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight.
