principles stewardship given
The one principle that surrounds everything else is that of stewardship; that we are the managers of everything that God has given us
best debt deeper economic economy financial happen seen trouble turn wonder
Here we are in some of the best economic times many of us have ever seen and they're deeper in debt than they've ever been. I think they sense they are in real financial trouble and if they don't get out of debt now, they wonder what will happen if the economy does turn down?
smart successful organization
...most entrepreneurial types are free-wheelers who like to do a variety of things and do not enjoy routine tasks. But a smart entrepreneur will eventually learn that while ideas start businesses, organization makes them successful.
christian teaching time-on-earth
Few Christians understand the concept of eternal rewards, even thought the Lord dedicated a great deal of His precious time on earth to teaching about them. The one certainty is that our position in the Lord's kingdom will be inversely proportional to how we indulge ourselves in this lifetime.
christian purpose serving-god
... there is one primary purpose of a Christian's business: to serve God.
jesus promise matter
...when I prayed to receive Jesus Christ as my Savior, I had made that promise...: 'If You'll make Your will for my clear, I'll do it no matter what!'
voice speak easier
The more we listen to God's voice, the easier it is to recognize when He speaks to us.
people
Decide that you're going to love the people around you, even those you don't particularly like - or perhaps especially those you don't like.
believe commitment successful
Over commitment in business is usually due to a lack of faith, which results in fear - specifically, the fear of failure. But if we really believe God is in control, then we also should believe He's able to make us successful while we are keeping our lives in balance.
organization alternatives business-organization
In business, organization is an absolute necessity, not an alternative.
christian average giving
The average Christian pays more in interest than he gives to the Lord's work. In a church of 100 families 37 will give nothing.
faith answers trust-in-god
Trusting God is the answer. He will never let you down.
christian spiritual mean
Most Christians are more than content to live out their lives surrounded by the trappings of our world, rather than to risk losing them in becoming a radical Christian. A radical Christian (by my definition) is one who will put God first in all decisions, even when putting God first is costly. In the business world, this means putting God first even when doing so costs money. That is true freedom - spiritual freedom - as opposed to business bondage.
love-is giving benefits
The measure of true giving is to share with someone who has no platform from which to speak and may never benefit us in any way. After all, isn't that what true love is all about?
