Overview
Can business glorify God? We normally think of worship, faith, evangelism, and other “spiritual” activities as glorifying to God, but business? Wayne Grudem believes that by engaging in work and business we glorify God because we are emulating God’s own creative work. This book is a thoughtful guide to imitating God during interactions with customers, coworkers, employees, and other businesses.
Top Highlights
“I think God has created us with a desire to own things because he wanted us to have a desire to imitate his sovereignty in this way. This desire in itself should not automatically be called ‘greed,’ because that word slanders something that is a good desire given to us by God.” (Page 20)
“One good ‘use’ of our resources—paradoxically—is that we should give some of them away!” (Page 21)
“ in the process of productive work we would have many opportunities to glorify him.” (Page 27)
“God created us in such a way that we would want to imitate his character” (Page 15)
“the only long-term solution to world poverty is business” (Page 80)
