Title: Owning a Business as a Christian
Topic: Christian Business Owners and Freedom of Religion
Discussed by Bob Dickie
with Crown Financial Ministries (www.Crown.org)
Part 1 of 2
Have you ever
wondered what the Bible says about business? How should we act as owners? How
should we behave as employees? More importantly, how should we treat those less
fortunate than we are?
Bob Dickie is the President of Crown Financial Ministries, which
produces My Money Life, a vignette we play daily on the What’s UP
Radio Program. Bob is also an author, speaker, and conference leader. He is
preparing for a new event for Christian business owners, leaders, and
entrepreneurs on “How to Build a Business that Cares for the Least of These”.
Many people are experiencing financial difficulties, especially small business
owners. It might be hard to want to help those who are less fortunate than we
are for fear of losing our livelihood. Bob Dickie says, “We live in a
culture of self-centeredness, fueled by greed. When that happens, the least of
these get forgotten.” Listen in as he discusses this and gives some great
advice straight from the Bible. “God owns your business. You are merely the
steward.”
At the beginning of each day, fall on your knees and ask God for wisdom.
“It’s okay to strive for success, but you don’t want to violate Biblical
principals in that process,” Bob Dickie says. And remember: Employees are
people, too. They are the life-blood of any business. They deserve to be treated
with respect. Listen in to the next segment with Bob as he elaborates on why it
is important to take care of your employees.

Title: Part 2 of 2 - Owning a Business as a Christian
Topic: Christian Business Owners and Freedom of Religion
Discussed by Bob Dickie

Lack of a good work ethic is one
of the most frequent complaints that Bob Dickie hears from business owners
concerning their employees. His council to employees is to “always do your best
and always treat your employer with respect.” Your character will prove itself
and you will rise to the top. No matter what your job description is, always be
ready to do more. Employees, your attitude should be “What can I do that you
don’t want to do?”
Finally, Bob Dickie discusses George Bailey, who is the banker in the classic
Christmas movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” and the bankruptcy of Enron. Why is the
“Golden Rule” such an important lesson to learn? Companies that thrive follow
Biblical principles, plain and simple. “They honor God and keep Him first, doing
things according to scripture,” Bob says. “God’s principles change everything,
not just for this lifetime, but for eternity.”
Bob has a new book out, “The Leap”, that you can order [here].

Title: San Antonio Ordinance is a Bad Fit for Houston
Topic: Christian Business Owners and Freedom of Religion
Discussed by Reverend Dave Welch
with US Pastor Council (US Pastor Council)
Part 1 of 2
Is the day coming when a Jewish house of worship will be forced to perform a
Muslin marriage and vice versa? Will Baptist preachers be forced to perform a
same-sex marriage? Actually, that day may be here sooner then we think.
Houston Mayor Annise Parker centered her re-election campaign around her sexual
preference, which is a same-sex attraction. She even went as far as going to
California to get “married” to gain support.
Now, Mayor Parker wants to model Houston after San Antonio and their lack of
respect for all things Christian. Listen in as Dave Welch, with the US Pastor
Council, explains why we cannot allow this to happen.

Dave Welch continues discussing
the San Antonio ordinance.
If a similar system is implemented in Houston as
Mayor Parker wishes, it would have a profound effect on not only Houston area
businesses and churches, but all city employees would be bound and gagged, as
well.

Title: America’s So-Called “Free Marker” System

Part 1 of 3
By now, most people have heard about the two businesses in opposite regions
of the United States who refused to offer their services to homosexual couples.
You may already have an opinion on the issue.
But what does the Constitution say?

with American Family Association
It is becoming a hazard to be a
Christian and a business owner. If “we” must be forced to allow “them” to
dictate the way “we” run our own business, what will stop “them” from running
the entire country?
This new way of discrimination must stop.
Listen in as Bryan Fischer, the Director of Issue Analysis for Government and
Public Policy at the American Family Association, explains the dangers.

Every day, we have
the opportunity to be a witness for Christ to the people around us, whether we
“agree” with them or not. Carol Everett, the author of Blood
Money, wanting to expand their abortion business, hired a business
consultant, who just happened to be a Christian. The result? Carol accept Jesus
Christ as her Savior! This is a perfect example of allowing Him to work through
us, even in “unpleasant” circumstances.
