Hello friends,

Our vision is to transform the marketplace. We want to be a force for excellent work to Business, Government and Education and excellence in faith for all Christians working within it. By increasing positive influence on these three societal components, we make this fallen world system more effective and more Just. Our premise is this: Saving the world, begins with credibility. Credibility as a Christian is doing a GREAT job, and having a CLEAR demonstrated faith. These are the two outcomes we seek to create in people and organizations, we call it EXCELLENCE- in faith and work.

WHAT is Righteous Free Enterprise©

What is Righteous Free Enterprise© ?
The three words that comprise this system that the God of the Universe endowed us with are an important place to start.
Righteousness is that which Christ commands us to SEEK in our pursuit of our material needs, saying “First, seek His Kingdom and His Righteousness.”,… Matthews Gospel, from the chapter (#6 as part of the Sermon on the Mount) about the futility of worry. The seeking of RIGHTEOUSNESS ensures our provision. So then what is Righteousness? Righteousness is outward behavior that follows and is informed by understanding and wisdom. By seeking Righteousness we come to KNOW. By meditation we come to UNDERSTAND, which is WISDOM. By acting on this understanding we are RIGHTEOUS. We DO what is RIGHT.
Now, Righteousness is the ACTIVE WILL of God in our lives, and is insurance against becoming WISE in our own eyes. By seeking righteousness, God reveals his Will for our lives, by meditating and seeking counsel about what we learn, through prayer, fasting, and Scripture, we come to UNDERSTAND that will or desire that God has for us, and when we DO it, we are being RIGHTEOUS.
“So, then how does this help me run my business?”, you might ask.
Simply, it virtually guarantees that you will do the right thing. (You may not have the knowledge that you are doing the right thing, but in retrospect it will be revealed as such, if you follow God’s plan for Righteous Free Enterprise.) And if God ordained that we work, and that He has a plan for our lives (Jeremiah 29), then seeking that plan is the path to everything we NEED!
Does God care about how you manage your business? Of course !!! Isn’t work about 60% of your awake time?? Why would God remove His will from that big a CHUNK of your life? But many many Business Owners, Executives and Managers take their business life and run as fast as they can AWAY from God’s influence, “securing” it for their OWN will. This is of course a HUGE sin (being out of the will of God), and down-right arrogant.
So Righteousness IS the will of God for your Business Life. If you DO the Will of God, it IS Righteous.
In the next installment we will discuss Freedom and Enterprise.
Until next time…..
