EXPERT KNOWLEDGE GROUP-THE SPIRITUAL TRUTH OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP

We incorporate the Lord into our businesses, making Him our CEO. 

Remember: You are a STEWARD, but GOD is the master Creator. The Master Businessman. The King of all Kings and the Creator of the Entire Universe.       

      

Anything you have is God’s. Finances, Time, and any other blessings, are all from God’s hand. He is the one who is eager to see you living in the fullness of Him and bringing His kingdom to earth.                     

                                                         

Our country needs strong businesses, built on a foundation of truth, integrity, and service, led by those who understand a scriptural model of leadership.     

                   

God calls us as Christians to go out into the world, using our gifts and talents to literally change the world, declaring His name. He calls us to bring people to HIM. To be disciples of nations. If we truly believe the way, the truth, and the life is ONLY found through knowing and believing in Jesus Christ. We need to take up that great commission and spread His name and influence.That obviously applies to everyone, not just business owners.           

                           

FOCUSING ON GOD-APPROACH                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Rather than focusing on competing for market share, we are called to focus on setting the standards for our industries in the unique ways in which God has called each of us to lead.” So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God. “1 Corinthians 3:21-23 NIV 

To understand your true purpose in life, your journey must begin by focusing on God and His message instead of yourself. In other words, instead of looking “within yourself,” you must look “beyond yourself.” The Bible states you were created by God and for God – and until you understand that life will never make sense. Specifically, the Bible states, “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible… all things were created through him and for him” (Colossians 1:16, ESV).       

                                                       

It is only in God that we can discover our meaning and primary purpose in life. All other approaches (world’s wisdom, self-help, searching within, etc.) lead us astray from the true path, only to encounter a dead end. “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect” (Romans 12:2, NLT).       

                       

To find the right path, we must know what God has revealed about our purpose in life as inscribed in His Book. The Bible states instead of seeking “happiness” first, we are to seek “God and His kingdom” first. “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33, ESV). And just as God intended, when we do, that deep and lasting joy, peace, and significance we’ve been yearning and searching for will come seeking us.                                                                                                                                   

USING GOD-GIVEN GIFTS

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

It is believed that every person has been endowed by God with unique gifts, talents, and abilities. These gifts are not only intended for personal fulfillment, but also for the betterment of the world around us. In the Bible, the apostle Paul teaches that each member of the church has been given a gift to use for the common good. 1 Corinthians 12:7 says, “7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.” This means that we are not only responsible for developing and using our gifts, but also for using them in service to others. Christians believe that using our gifts in service to others is a form of worship and a way to bring glory to God. This can involve serving in our local communities, volunteering for charitable causes, using our talents in the workplace to benefit others, and sharing our faith with others.

Ultimately, the Christian perspective is that we are called to be good stewards of the gifts we have been given, and to use them in a way that reflects God's love and goodness to those around us. By doing so, we can make a positive impact on the world and fulfill our God-given purpose.

By incorporating these principles into their day-to-day practices, Christian businesses are making an impact in the business world and contributing to the common good. They demonstrate that faith and business can be integrated in a successful manner, and that it is possible to run a profitable business while also living out Christian values and principles.
