christian purpose serving-god
... there is one primary purpose of a Christian's business: to serve God.
biblical thinking errors
Get-rich-quick thinking leads to three basic errors: (1) Getting involved with things you cannot understand; (2) Risking funds you cannot afford to lose, that is, borrowed funds; and (3) Making hasty decisions. Each of these actions violates one or more biblical principles... Together they constitute a sin called greed.
bounds
You cannot be spiritually free and financially bound.
humility pride numbers
Satan's number one weapon is pride. God's number one defense is humility.
greatest-fear hearing life-is
My greatest fear in life is standing before the Lord and hearing Him say, ‘I had so much more for you, but you held on too tightly.’
voice speak easier
The more we listen to God's voice, the easier it is to recognize when He speaks to us.
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 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.
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.
christian giving remember
Always be ready to give a good testimony for the Lord, but remember that the best testimony a Christian can have is a love for others and good work habits.
