Faith-Based Business
This is a page about my convictions. We have become a country of people unwilling
to voice our opinions about issues that really matter because of our concern over
offending someone. I believe if we make stronger statements and stand firm
on the issues that really matter, our country and our world will be a better place.
Faith-Based Business
"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 15:3
Our society tries too hard to separate what is perceived as the "real world" from
faith and religious beliefs. I have come to discover this is the wrong approach,
and Christians in our society are staying far too quiet about what they believe
is the right thing to do, the right way to treat people, the right moral convictions,
and the right way to do business. We need to stop remaining reserved and soft-spoken
about such important issues. We need to stop worrying about being so accepting
and fair and considerate of alternative views. There is indeed a right and
wrong and we need to make our collective voices heard. One way to do this
is through our business practices.
Customers
Doing Business the Christian way is nothing more than treating our customers, clients,
business associates, and coworkers as God would have us treat them. We should
not focus our business on financial gain. Yes, we certainly need to make money
to purchase the goods and services necessary to conduct our lives, but to focus
on this aspect of business generates greed and allows Satan to drive our decisions.
God tells us he will provide for us in abundance if we walk with Him, so focus your
business on treating people with kindness, generosity, and good will. The
rewards will come to you, and you will do well enough in your business.
