Your Question:
What's the point of running a business when it's all going to fail?
Answer:
As a man of faith, I've come to realize that the point of running a business isn't just about making a profit, but also about serving others and being a good steward of the resources God has given us. According to Proverbs 21:5, a business can lead to profit, but it's not just about the financial gain. It's about being diligent and taking initiative in our desire to learn and serve others. David A. R. White's words of wisdom remind us that everyone will fail from time to time, but it's not about being a failure when we fail. It's about getting back up and trying again. We see this in the Bible stories of people who have failed, but ultimately found success in the kingdom of God. For example, Mark, who was initially not very helpful to Paul, later proved useful to him. This teaches us that failure doesn't mean we are a failure, but rather that we may need to adjust our approach to find where we can be productive in God's kingdom. When it comes to running a business, we must be mindful of the motivations behind our actions. Are we serving others, or are we serving ourselves? As Jesus taught in Matthew 6:1-4, we must not do our service to be seen by others, but rather to please God. When we focus on serving others and being a good steward of God's resources, we can find true success and fulfillment, even in the midst of failure. As a pastor, I've seen this play out in the lives of many people, and I believe it's a key principle for anyone running a business or pursuing their passions.
