The Bible and Business
by Dave Wellman on Oct.17, 2008, under The Bible
When people think about their businesses, more often than not, they don’t also think about the Bible as a principle source of knowledge. Over the years as I have worked to build my business, I have bought and read may books written by the hot authors of the day. Many of them did have insight into things that help with the technical aspects of business. However, until recently I didn’t really consider the volumes of wisdom available to Christians from the greatest book ever written on any subject, The Bible.
The Bible doesn’t have the latest email marketing techniques, or the “magic bullet” for sponsoring, or even the best way to choose a company (although I’m not a convinced about this one). What it does have though is God’s view of life for all people. What life is all about, how to be successful in this life, and how to pass on that success to succeeding generations.
Over the course of the next couple weeks I am going to be posting some principles from God’s word that I believe should motivate serious believers with regard to the development of their network marketing business. I hope that you will be blessed and challenged by these principles (as I have been in studying and thinking them through on my own).
Please feel free to comment and add your wisdom to the conversation!
Look for more throughout the next couple weeks.

Pastor Dave,
Although I knew all wisdom comes from God and the Bible is the ultimate source of wisdom, it was only after I read from an article of Perry Marshall that I learned that Proverbs is the best source of practical wisdom for business.
We are flooded with “self-help” books and we hear countless voices, but as Christian we should know where to base all our beliefs in all aspects of our lifes including business.
God bless you always.
