Pastoral Chat - Since I first heard about the controversy over Dave Ramsey's moral code of conduct for employment at his organization, I knew I needed to comment on it. As Christian entrepreneurs, many of you desire to build organizations with certain standards of conduction and work ethic. However, I needed a few days to gather my thoughts and search the Word about this. Now, I am ready to share my thoughts on this as a way to help you think through building the culture of your organization. Links - Join, Partner

It's a future of failure, frustrations, and unachieved goals because fear robs you of the faith required to succeed in life and business.

Daily Word - The Bible is black and white on lots of issues. However, there are many issues (we'll face in life) that are not directly addressed in the Bible. These are gray areas of Christianity, and they can weaken your Faith if you aren't careful. Links - Join, Partner

Impromptu Message - For many situations you face in life and business there is not a direct Bible text to tell you what to do. In those times we usually rely on the Holy Spirit to help us make decisions. However there are times when we need to make decisions where the Holy Spirit may appear to be silent, not offering any input. In those times, God may be allowing you space to come to your own conclusion about what to do. We have to remember that God is training us, so like any good parents there are times when we need our children to develop their decision muscles. We let them decide what to do first, and then we offer our opinion on their choice. Likewise, God may be allowing you space to decide. After you decide He will give His opinion (not command) on your decision. Links - Join, Partner

Business School | Session 2 Many Christian entrepreneurs have a love/hate relationship with money. They desire to have it but wonder if it is godly to go hard after making money in business.

In this week's lesson, we are going through the scriptures to gain the proper mindset about making money so that our businesses can prosper. Links Join | Partner

Business School | Session 1 The spiritual force that brings financial prosperity is the blessing. The blessing is not a reward for good behavior, it is a free gift given to us through Jesus Christ. However, many Christians are not prosperous. Why? Because the blessing for prosperity is activated by the work of our hands. And the location of our hands determine our level of prosperity. If our hands are in other people's businesses, then we have limited our prosperity. If our hands are in the business God has given us, then we can have unlimited prosperity. Links: Join, Partner

Daily Word - We talk a lot about following God's directions so that we can succeed in our life and calling.

Therefore, in today's message, learn how God transmits His instructions to us. Links - Join, Partner

Sunday Message - When a man has a son, he often gives his son his same name, denoted by "Jr." The "Jr." represents that his son will be just like him. In the same way, God gave Jesus His name, "I Am," to let us know that Jesus and God are one. But it does not stop there. Jesus was the firstborn son. Through Jesus, we all are sons and daughters of God, and He has also given us all His name. All believers who received Jesus as their Lord and Savior are God Jr. Links - Join, Partner

I have found that God is constantly speaking to all believers. Although He is speaking, the issue is interpreting what He is saying. Interpreting the voice of God is based on your theology. Theology is a fancy word for your beliefs about the nature of God and how He operates. Every believer has a theology, and everybody's theology is incomplete and/or wrong in some areas. Therefore when God speaks to us, our interpretation has a chance of being incomplete or wrong. In this Sunday's message, I examine this concept and provide some practical ways to develop a more correct theology, so we can interpret the voice of God more accurately.

This past Tuesday, I taught our Ministry School students how to identify false prophets. After delivering that message, I felt led to share it with the entire Church for Entrepreneurs community because many Christians are pointing fingers at various ministers and calling them false prophets. However, are they really false? As believers, we all need the ability to determine, from a biblical perspective, who is and who is not a false prophet. Link: Join our online community

Many Christian entrepreneurs are spending a lot of time working on their business. However, as I have been studying the Word, I am finding that God wants us to spend more time working on ourselves vs our business. Because when you develop, then your business will succeed. No the other way around. Listen today's reflection, to explore this concept with me. Link: Join our online community

As we get into this year of rest, I have noticed that resting has exposed holes in my calling that I didn't even know existed. I had to slow down and rest in order to see them.

One of the main purposes of believers is to create more believers by winning the lost (aka nonbelievers). However, to win them, loving them is required. Why? Because if we don't love the lost, we are not going to have the motivation to win them or have the right vibe to attract them to Christ. Many of us don't love the lost, but instead we are in a war of words against them. If we are going to be an effective soul winner for God, we have to stop fighting the lost and start loving them. In the online community, let's discuss. What is the Holy Spirit saying to you about loving the lost? How can you guard your heart to stay in love with them? Link: Join our community
