BY LARRY NAULT, BKC President and Chief Strategist We have counseled hundreds of Christian business owners over the years about their Identity in Christ and the role they and their business play in the Kingdom. Business can be used for so much good in society, not just to give money away but to make an IMPACT directly. It's time for the "business community arm" of the Church to move into the fullness of their calling. What we BELIEVE will either propel us forwards towards IMPACT or keep us stagnate merely looking at profits. Along the way we've discovered FOUR FALSE-BELIEFS common in the minds of many well-intentioned followers of Christ. Theses false-beliefs are, that... 1) Some Christians are called to fulltime ministry and some are not. 2) The Church is called to operate primarily inside a building or Christian non-profit organization. 3) We are sinners therefore it would be hypocritical for us to mix business and Christianity. 4) The primary role of marketplace Christians is to make money to support the vision of those “in the ministry”. "Usually a person should keep on with the work he was doing when God calls him". 1 Cor. 7:20 TLB To UNLEASH THE POTENTIAL of Christian owned and influenced businesses to see themselves as POWERFUL ENTITIES in the Kingdom with multiple bottom lines (Social, Spiritual, Economic, and Environmental) as opposed to merely a Kingdom check-book would TURN THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN!
"The Consequences of The Business as Money-Giver Mentality". Friend, we are all in full time ministry; OUR BUSINESSES ARE MINISTRIES. Some are called to foreign lands. Some are called to the jungles of the workplace. Wherever you are called, serve the Lord in that place. Let Him demonstrate His power through your life and company so that others might experience Him through you today. God is calling you to step into something greater: you were not saved to go to heaven; you were saved to bring heaven to earth! Using your unique gifts and the power God freely gives, our Team of Specialists have a common vision for REFORMATION: Help Build Great Companies that Glorify and Advance the Kingdom of God. Start now, with our proven Three Step REFORMATION Process and request a complimentary BKC business review. Today, we declare that you are developing an "ADVANCING ATTITUDE" and that God's favor go before you and make your way successful.
