This quote from a recent post by Fuller Seminary President, Richard Mouw grabbed my attention:
...we certainly need more messages about business activity as an opportunity to serve people in ways that please the Creator....
Mark D. Roberts recent series on the history of the Faith at Work movement is saying some similar things. And tomorrow, I am doing my first seminar specifically for a business on Being Powerless Agents of change.
Now, I usually find that when I go somewhere to speak, I am the one who ends up learning the most. So, while in my mind, I know that Monday Morning on Wall Street and Friday Mornings on Main Street should have everything to do with what happens on Sunday Mornings in the pews, I am sure my messages don't say it nearly enough.
I am drawn toward entrepreneurs and business leaders, I love reading books about new models of business and organizational leadership often gleaning insights for leading in churches. I love encouraging groups like "CauseDEPOT" that are trying to make a difference in the world through the market place.
In short, I have been so encouraged in the practice of my faith by business thinking, perhaps I need to think more and more about how to return the favor. Any suggestions?
