Historians gauge the validity of a manuscript based on the number of manuscripts and the time span between the originals and earliest manuscripts. The Bible has stronger support than any other classical writings, including those of Greek writers and thinkers.
Having a proper focus can dramatically change the course of our individual lives.
Jesus said, ‘I came that they may have life and have it abundantly’ (John 10:10). How can we contribute in an economic way to the abundant life that Jesus had in mind using our companies and multiplying our present possibilities? How can we achieve a business and a business culture that lead to automatic growth? How can growth create more well-being instead of scarcity and injustice? These eight studies provide answers to these questions.
One of the most important qualities of a trust-building leader
An important feature of sincere trust is that it cannot be enforced or ordered. Many leaders approach the issue by requiring their employees to have complete trust without doing anything about it themselves.
If a manager managed to win and preserve the trust of his employees and colleagues, then the corporate culture is fundamentally good. On the other hand, if there is no trust base, then all our efforts are worthless.
When I talk to a leader about the relationship between vulnerability and the leader, the first reaction is almost always that the two don’t really fit together. The leader must be strong, sure, otherwise no one will follow him, in fact, they will abuse his weakness.
Discipleship in business means learning how to apply Biblical principles to everyday decisions. Financial discipleship is important because Jesus said, “You cannot serve both God and Money.” (Matthew 6:24) Money is a major competitor for our devotion. Financial discipleship is learning to serve God and use business finances for His purposes. This reading plan will help you discern God’s ways in handling money in your business.
If we’re going to be Kingdom leaders in the marketplace, we have to let God’s Spirit lead us.
Many people in the business and professional world work extremely long hours, sometimes seven days a week, ignoring their need for personal refreshment. They ignore this paradox of being able to accomplish more if we work less, setting aside time for much-needed rest.
