How YOU Can Get on the REAL Road to Christian (Financial) Independence: “Your Eden Work” - THE BOOK!
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008Wouldn’t it be fun to be celebrating Independence Day and really be independent? What a concept! Yet many of us celebrate it and have to go back to work and remain a slave employee. I don’t think that’s what the Founding Fathers had in mind.
And even if you are “independent,” wouldn’t it be great to be sure of what God […]
Hey Christian Entrepreneurs, It’s Independence Day!
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008As we start the Independence Day holiday in the United States, many of us think about freedom and “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Many other countries also have their own independence day, when I’m sure they think of the same things. But we need to ask the question, “Are we really free?”
Most of […]
Christian Business/Ministry Planning (Part 1): Should a Christian Entrepreneur Have a Business Plan?
Thursday, June 26th, 2008If you’ve been reading this blog, you know that a Christian business is supposed to be different from a non-Christian one, if for no other reasons than what its focus and motivations are supposed to be.
I heard a guy say once from the stage at my church, in the beginning of a year, that in the […]
8 Reasons Why Most Christians are Financially Broke Series - Part 8
Thursday, June 12th, 2008Reason #2:
Most Christians don’t give as they should.
The Bible constantly talks about the necessity of giving, and the blessings that accompany it; yet most of us, especially those of us who live in the so-called developed countries, are hung up on what we can get; not what we can give.
We shouldn’t, of course, give to get; but […]
8 Reasons Why Most Christians are Financially Broke Series - Part 7
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008Reason # 3:
Most Christians don’t know their purpose.
Or, should, I say, His purpose for them (This is what I mean by “your” purpose.), and knowing this makes it easier to be an entrepreneur, because you’re doing what you were called to do.
Jesus knew His purpose:
“And I, the Son of Man, have come to seek and […]
Christian Diversification
Friday, May 30th, 2008I went with my family today to Morey’s Pier in Wildwood, N.J. Morey’s started about 40 years ago, with just a fun slide. Today, it is one of the top amusement “parks” in the U.S.
My wife and I talked about all the possible ways in which Morey’s makes money…from the fees for the rides, all the […]
Senior Moments: Christian Seniors, Passion and Entrepreneurship
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008I was reading an article in USA Weekend recently on a forthcoming book called Nextville by Barbara Corcoran, a real estate expert on NBC and CNBC. In this article, which was really a mini-interview, she was quoted as saying about retirement trends, “One of the recent trends is finding and pursuing your passion, finding what really floats […]
The “Right Stuff” for Christian Entrepreneurship
Friday, May 16th, 2008Most people think that when they are going to start a Christian business or ministry, they need a business plan, capital and “stuff like that.” They think this is the “right stuff” that they’ll need.
But with help from Pastor Sheryl Brady, who spoke at my church a couple of Sundays ago, I’ve come to realize […]
8 Reasons Why Most Christians are Financially Broke Series - Part 6
Friday, April 18th, 2008Before we go to Reason #3, I still want to say something else about Reason #4, which is:
They’re not entrepreneurs!!!
As was stated in Part 5, most Christians don’t realize that we are commanded to, if we can, be “free”.
The other thing we are told to do, according to Proverbs 24:27 (KJV), is to find out what […]
The Bible as a “Filter” - Part 3
Thursday, April 10th, 2008When thinking about the Bible as a filter, I have learned that I need to check what non-Christians and Christians say, even if it’s my pastor!
Sound strange? Well, if you look at what happened when Paul visited Berea:
And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s […]
