How God's great love becomes provable in business

Can today's businessperson afford to live by Jesus' teachings?

Lacy Richter

To some people, the spiritual fact that all true existence manifests God's intelligence and goodness may seem too idealistic, too abstract, to be practical in today's highly technological society. This is understandable when the media brief us so thoroughly on the flightiness of the human economy.

I just took some notes while watching a discussion between so-called experts. My notes include rise and fall, economic down turns, doom-and-gloom outlook, and that disturbing term unstructured. From a materialistic vantage point, it would seem that the economy is often unstable, precarious, and gloomy.

But Christ Jesus had a different version of supply and demand. He recognized that God's love, when consciously revered and trusted, always supplies right human needs. In his Sermon on the Mount, he refers to God's love as the source of infinite supply and assures his followers that their seeking of "the kingdom of God, and his righteousness" can open the way for them to see the Father's boundless provision and experience it in everyday activities.
