In 1989, ministry leader, Larry Burkett, wrote a great book called Business by the Book. When I taught Burkett’s workshop, the very first lesson began with a principle that was simple yet profound.
This principle was, “The purpose of your business is to glorify God.”
If you ask most business owners why they are in business, they will tell you to make money. Even economist Milton Friedman was famous for saying the only purpose of business is making money.
For Jesus followers, however, making money is a by-product of your purpose, not the focal point.
1 Corinthians 10:31 teaches, “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
If someone asked your employees why your business exists what would they say?
