The Big Idea – Faithfulness in the Details

Decimals show small differences, but in wages even small differences can add up to big gaps over time. God cares about justice in how workers are treated and paid.

• Group A earns $15.75 per hour.
• Group B earns $14.25 per hour.

Difference = $1.50 per hour

If both work 40 hours a week:

• Group A earns $630.00
• Group B earns $570.00
  Weekly gap = $60.00

Over one year, that adds up to more than $3,000. Small decimals can make a big difference.
