News Flash! Your Christian Business Should Make Money!

By Dave Kahle

I know that comes as a surprise to many Christian business people, who have been conditioned by our contemporary religious culture to think of money-making as a second-class endeavor. Running a profitable business is, in some religious circles, a tasteless endeavor that is barely tolerated. It may be accepted if you give some of the money to them, but it is often viewed with disdain and suspicion.

Good thing Abraham hadn’t been infected with that paradigm. He built a huge business, probably employing thousands of people, and became a very wealthy man. He has become, for countless generations, the archetypal example of faith. His faith, as an old man, was so powerful that he was ready to kill his son as an act of obedience.

While we often focus on his faith, we rarely acknowledge how he built that faith. He became one of the first Bible characters to model the principle that building a successful business is one of the best ways to build an enduring faith. He became a man of legendary faith, while at the same time building an economic enterprise that made him very wealthy. He was so successful in building an organization and multiplying wealth that he could employ “318 trained men who were born in his household.” (Genesis 14:14)

Abraham understood that doing business well generated money and that the creation of wealth is one of the God-given purposes for a business.

Sales management is too important to not do it better

In a world where it is more and more difficult to distinguish yourself on the basis of product, service or price, the best companies excel on the basis of the quality of their sales force.

Those companies who manage and direct their sales forces to higher levels of productivity succeed, while those who remain stuck in inertia, afraid to invest in their own development, gradually fall by the wayside.

That’s why we are offering you the opportunity to “sell better” by helping your sales managers manage better.

Over 2,079 sales leaders have been trained in 25 previous seminars.

"This is an extremely simple, yet highly effective system of managing salespeople. Beyond that, I am very impressed with the values built into the program (the counseling section, and the consistent processes which value the overall dignity of the individual while keeping them accountable). This is truly a system I can get behind and learn to master. I look forward to being a part of my salespeople's development and success."

In addition to Abraham, the Old Testament is full of pictures of business people who were rewarded for their market place performance with greater wealth. Think of Joseph, whose business acumen brought incredible riches to Pharaoh. Or the two Hebrew mid-wives whom God rewarded for their good work by giving them their own businesses. (Ex 1:21)

In the New Testament, the parable of the bags of gold (Matt 25: 10 - 14) provides additional substantiation from the words of Christ. You recall the three servants were provided with various amounts of worldly wealth to manage.

Their purpose was to increase the master’s wealth! They were praised and rewarded – not for giving the money away – but for increasing it. Note how they were rewarded – with more wealth to manage, and a closer relationship with the master. It’s another example of the principle that God rewards good work with an increase in wealth and a closer relationship with him. Just like Abraham grew in faith and closer to the Lord as he increased his worldly wealth, so too did the two praise-worthy servants in the Lord’s parable.

And, look at what happened to the third servant, who didn’t grow the master’s wealth. He was kicked out of the household!
