Pete Marra from Breakpoint shared this on a podcast: ”What we have at our disposal through business, the ability to organize, to solve problems, to create value, to deploy capital, to steward the things that God has given us, is something that’s very unique to enterprise itself. … I believe not only has God brought you to this place and called you to this space, but he’s equipped you for it.” My podcast cohost and I have co-authored a series of books called “Business by the Book.” They are designed to help equip you with God’s wisdom for each department of your organization. Check them out here.

“To say any man is a real Christian is undeniably the highest honor we can confer upon him.” —Wilfred Grenfell
“A friend of mine said, ‘We regard God as an airman regards his parachute; it’s there for emergencies but he hopes he’ll never have to use it.’ Now God, who has made us, knows what we are and that our happiness lies in Him. Yet we will not seek it in Him as long as he leaves us any other resort where it can even plausibly be looked for. While what we call ‘our own life’ remains agreeable we will not surrender it to Him. What then can God do in our interests but make ‘our own life’ less agreeable to us, and take away the plausible source of false happiness?” —C.S. Lewis, in The Problem of Pain
“Sometimes you fall apart on the inside while you look put together on the outside. Your private and public worlds don’t connect at all. Others cannot perceive the trauma you feel, the despair and loneliness. Only God knows that.
“The danger in success is dishonesty with self, others, or God. You will substitute eternal accomplishment for internal peace. What happens to you becomes more important than what happens in you. David alerts us to face this problem. Our successes may be happening despite God’s displeasure. Our concern must be more upon, ‘Is God pleased with me? than ‘Is God pleased with what I am doing?’” —Dr. George O. Wood, in A Psalm in My Heart, commenting on Psalm 60
