The Calling of the Christian Entrepreneur: The “Why?”
Thursday, January 31st, 2008Why?
Such a small, but interesting word.
Why?
Why do you want to be an entrepreneur? In today’s world, where there’s talk of “Be a Christian millionaire” and “Millionaires for Christ”, is this really what God wants us to strive for?
Many want to know the “How:” of becoming a Christian entrepreneur, but we have to get the “Why?” […]
Christian, You Can Be Free From Your Job!
Sunday, January 27th, 2008Coryan has an interesting take on starting a business while working…he’s coined the term, “jobpreneuring”.
As I said previously, Paul said:
Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you–although if you can gain your freedom, do so. - 1 Cor. 7:21 (NIV)
This doesn’t mean, if you currently have a job, to just up-and-quit. “Gaining” […]
Why God Wants You to Be Economically Free
Thursday, January 24th, 2008I was reading the Financial Times Weekend Edition, and one of my favorite sections is called Small Talk, where they talk to a writer virtually every week, and ask them more or less the same questions. It’s interesting just to see the variation in the responses.

How to Become “His” Entrepreneur (Part 2)
Friday, January 18th, 2008When we “prepare” to do something, we get ready to do it. Proverbs 24:27 says that we should prepare our work, and as we said previously, our work is our calling; our ministry; it is, I believe, the “self-employment” that God meant us to have.
Prepare in the Hebrew means “…to build into an incontrovertible existence.” “Incontrovertible” […]
How to Become “His” Entrepreneur
Thursday, January 10th, 2008A lot of us experience frustration because we’re not operating in what we are called to do.
Proverbs 24:27 says that we should “Prepare thy work without and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.”(KJV) The NLT says, “Develop your business first before building your house.”
Over the next week or […]
