Please Help By answering These 3 Questions

[James Griffin]

My friend has an assignment for a class that he needs help with. He needs to have 5 people answer the 3 questions below.

This is a Business through the Eyes of Faith class at Evangel.

Please answer the question and give a scripture that would support your view. The answers do not have to be any certain length. Thanks for your help.

Just finished reading:
The Missional Entrepreneur: Principles and Practices for Business as Mission
Mark L. Russell

An excellent book which addresses each of those questions in detail


Very brief answers from me, sorry getting ready for sermon in AM, usually prepared far in advance but received call from sick pastor a couple hours ago.
1.
What is more important in business, making money or glorifying God?

A Christian businessman glorifies God by making money.

Sub-theme, nothing can be MORE important than glorifying God.




2.
Is it possible to be a Christian in a secular business environment without offending anyone and without compromising Biblical business principles?

Poorly worded question, it is impossible to BE a Christian without offending



3.
Is it important that those you work with know that Jesus is the source of your strength?

If they don't you are not fulling your primary directive- Go forth and multiply.

The first commandment given in Genesis is just as important to the church.
