Suggestion -

If you want a challenge I would suggest you get a copy of Christopher Love's sermon series, A Christian's Directory - especially sermons 8 and 9.

Keep in mind that Love is writing in the 17th century and is a Puritan.  Consider as well that what we think we know about the Puritan view of the life of faith may not be the truth - I have found both deep insight and wonderful tenderness in their writings.  Also consider getting some insight into the historical and cultural context in which he writes.

Why?  Well, as Solomon said, "There is nothing new under the sun."  and, well, "All is vanity."

Although the entire series is solid food for the soul (not to mention the heart and mind) sermons 8 and 9 are specifically aimed at business.  There are no "new" perspectives here but rather the opportunity so see biblical truths concerning "business" are ageless.

I considered blogging a lot of what Love writes but we're just too used to being spoon-fed baby food instead of meat.  If you want it, it's there.

Please prayerfully consider that for we believers SUCCESS is measured solely by FAITHFULNESS.   This is a tough truth to hang on to - and a tough truth to work from - but it is a truth we can not escape or deny.
