Anointed for Business

Author: Ed Silvoso

Every Business Is God’s Business. The notion that labor for profit and worship of God are now, and always have been, worlds apart, is patently false. The Early Church founders were mostly community leaders and highly successful business people. The writing of the Gospels was entrusted to Luke, a medical doctor; Matthew, a retired tax collector; Mark, the manager of a family trust; and John, a food supplier. Lydia was "a dealer in purple cloth." Dorcas was a clothes designer. Today, more than ever, the heart of our cities is the marketplace. Yet the perceived "wall" between commercial pursuit and service to God continues to knock down that wall—and build the foundation for an unparalleled marketplace revival. Only then can we extend God’s kingdom to every corner of our world.
