Lots of men become Masons because of the business connections, networking. Lots of men become Masons because of the privileges afforded them. Lots of men become Masons because of the friendly atmosphere in which to perform charitable functions. Lots of men like the cachet of insider knowledge. This is the broad way.

Good business practice should be universally fair, as God repeats again and again in the Bible. Christ eschewed privilege and position, and washed the apostles’ feet, saying those who would rule must serve. Christ told us to reject family and friends if that is needed in service to His kingdom. Christ told us to spread the Gospel openly and freely. This is the narrow way.
