# Biblical Basis for Marketplace Integrity ## Background 2024.01.17 - When I retired in 1999 from the Navy, I had planned to start a business called Marketplace Integrity (MPI). However, I really didn't have enough experience in the marketplace to make the business work. So, I did something else. - The root of the issues in this note come from my beliefs about predestination and election. I won't discuss them here since they are covered in other notes and studies. {[[Predestination]]; [[Election]]} ## Notes 1/5/99 - Immediate answer to my prayer: {[[Pray]]} - “How do I know that God is a part of MPI and His hand is in it? - After reading **Romans 1.18 & 24**, I was concerned that I couldn't go against God’s will. If He is determined to pour out His wrath, how can I counter that? {[[Romans_01|Romans 1.18, 24]]} - However, in **Philippians 2.12-18**, we are directed to shine like stars in the universe as we hold out the Word of life. {[[Philippians_02|Philippians 2.12-18]]} - God reminded me as I had requested in the prayer why I was suppose to do the Integrity Business.
