what does God think of work and entrepreneurship?

Scripture gives us a strong indication. Genesis 2 is most famous for its description of marriage. But what preceded that? Work. We learn that work without relationship is not fulfilling, but that our Kingdom work precedes even marriage. In Genesis 1, we’re told that we’re made in the image of a Creator God—and thus, we are built to work, to create, to be “entrepreneurial”, and so on.

Unfortunately, society and some within the Church are neutral or even hostile toward those who are productive, those who operate businesses, and those who take risks within the economy.

On Saturday February 23^rd at 8:15 AM, following the Saturday Morning Men’s Bible Study at Southeast Christian Church, I’m going to host a showing of the Acton Institute’s movie “The Call of the Entrepreneur” in the Fireside Room—a movie about a farmer, a banker, and a Chinese businessman. After the 58-minute movie, we’ll have a panel discussion about work, wealth, and entrepreneurship within a Christian worldview—with Doug Cobb, Bill Heinz, and me.

The movie has a light Christian touch—and so it’s ideal for people who might have mild to significant allergies toward the Church. We hope to see you there—and hope that you know people who would benefit from the movie and our discussion.
