Righteous Free Enterprise- Vision

Hi folks-

Righteous Free Enterprise is what this program is all about- Recently I was asked to articulate it and here it is:

RFE  Purpose-  To "saturate" the "world" with Righteous Free Enterprise

RFE Vision Statement-  To overcome the Kingdom of Greed with the Kingdom of God.

Righteousness- God's will expressed in all of life, especially in the marketplace.

Freedom- unencumbrance-  we think independently therefore we are free. This freedom of thought, is the foundation of all of our freedom-  we think freely, we speak freely and we act freely-

Enterprise- the exchange of goods, services, ideas and information.



A Vivid Description-

I see a world system that is completely overcome and restored to God's plan.  God's plan is a plan that seeks His will in all ways in all parts of life, especially in the marketplace-  The marketplace is the exchange of goods, services, ideas, and information in all forms.  I see a world in which we all know our life's purpose and our lives are empowered by that purpose in our daily activity especially in the marketplace or enterprises of life. Enterprise is more relational than church in a lot respects, especially in frequency. Enterprise will be a forum for excellence and for people to express their purpose fully.  We spend more time, and have more opportunity to impact life within the context of enterprise, than in any other aspect of life. As much as 60% of most people's awake time is spent, at work, in school, out and in the world system. I see a world in which people's life's work, their purpose, (the works God has prepared in advance for us to do) is the only force driving their life, and since this purpose comes from God and is given by God, it should only be used for God. God's plan for the use of our purpose aligns perfectly with his eternal purpose to save the world, and bring the complete joy of the Kingdom to it. I see a world in which transactions in all respects are win-win; that win-lose might occur circumstantially, but never with the intent of causing it.  I see a world in which people build one another up. I see a world where everyone focuses on fulfilling their own potential and never in a way that causes another to fail; where each person is not only concerned with there own interests, but also in the interests of others.  The Church is the main catalyst for God's plan to be brought to its fulfillment- Eph 4: 11-16 is the blueprint for the church's role. 

In Righteouse Free Enterprise all power: intellectual, physical, economic, etc is empowering.
