In an article in The Wall Street Journal, citing the tremendous pressures facing business-school deans, one beleaguered dean said, "...

The need for harmony in one's affairs is legitimate. The great Biblical characters also struggled against the many worldly pressures of their day. But they knew where to turn. An Old Testament prophet writes: "When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him."Isa. 59:19.
