It’s the Business of Things

This morning I was thinking how so many times people say, “You know Pastor running a church is the same as running a business!” And I realize there are different schools of thought on this. But I want to pose the thought today that being a Christan is a lot like being a Business Executive!

Now you may think first off, no way! Often times business people are thought of as people who step on the little man, do whatever it takes to make it to the top, out for self all the time. I’m sure there are those is business who do act and live this way, but here is a News Flash I have seen countless number of People who act and live this way inside the CHURCH! So we can’t lay this rap on the business world. Some folks just don’t get it regardless of where they spend the majority of their time. But here last night at our church I was a part of a conversation with two Business men. An one said to the other, “Hey do you know (Name Omitted) he is a great guy, wonderful businessman, really successful, President of a huge Corporation. He is going to be at our meeting in a few weeks I’ll be sure to introduce him to you so you guys can get to know one another. It will really be great I assure you”

Now what happened right here was just Good Business NETWORKING … These two successful business men were doing what they are good at in their field they Networked! And this morning God revealed to me I do this all the time. As a Pastor I Network! Here’s how it sounds … Hey listen there is this guy who I would love for you to meet. He is the CEO, the CIO, you name it! A Success like none other, captain of industry. I can assure you when you meet Him your life will be different, you will often wonder how you ever lived without knowing him, would it be Ok if I introduce you to Him maybe over coffee or something … Sure What’s His name? Oh! The guy I know His name is JESUS!

So I guess the saying is true … Church really is like a Business … All Christ asked us to do is to NETWORK!

Be Blessed
