I finished two books this week that were at polar ends of the spectrum,but yet the same. The similar trait was that they drove home one consistent them: communicating well. They were totally opposite of each other in that one was from a business guru and the other from a pastor.
The business book was extremely enjoyable and motivating. The one from the pastor was extremely challenging and motivating as well. It all made me think about the balancing act that believers must accomplish to succeed in business and in faith.
Can you balance faith and business and succeed?
The one author would say 'no way'! Faith is for the weak. It is all up to you. You have to make it happen. Fight back! Don't take 'no' for an answer. It's all about the bottom line...regardless of how we get there!
There are business practices that dilute one's faith and testimony. There are biblical principles that challenge the 'wheelings and dealings' of some business ventures. Balancing between success in business and success with faith should not be viewed separately but as coinciding principles.
Who do you know that has done exceptionally well in business without compromising their faith and devotion to biblical principles?
I have some people that I know personally that have succeeded magnificently in business without compromising their faith. They have not wavered on being as prudent a business mind as possible. They have been aggressive. They have done well. Yet, to a person, they are immensely respected for their faith and business acumen.
Guys, hurry up!!! You only a couple days left!!
MTC!
