No. Business is business, church is down the street. I try never to mix the two.

The best business plan will still run into rough spots in business cycles--that's just basic economics--and God can certainly provide enough to pay the bills when it's that time. Plus, faith provides a moral backbone to do the right thing no matter what line of work a person is in. But if a prospective business partner didn't have a blueprint on how they were going to run their business, put out their products or services, and pay their bills, I wouldn't sign on until I saw that they had a grasp of running whatever business they are in.

Great question- actually without faith in every aspect of your life it will not be successful. Now I will ask you- what is success? Is it fame, is it riches, is it prestige, is it getting everything you want? Then you would have to depend totally on yourself- because success is totally different in the eyes of God. I am not saying that God does not reward those who seek Him with riches, etc at times- but the means do not justify the means. A small meager business who glorifies God can be more successful then a corporate business who denies His existence. Success is different if you look at it from a worldly view or a godly view. God does provide- however it is not always in the way that we want Him too at the time- He does not always give us what we want, just what we need in accordance to the riches in Christ- which far outweigh any material gains here on earth.

Definitely-I wouldn't go into business with anyone who didn't have those attributes. Seen this kind of faith in action-God does provide and faith is a key to a good relationship with Christ.

Sounds like the makings of a great business partner.

As long as this business partner is willing to work hard and says that alone with his hard work. Yes I would then. Oher wise "what good is a talk without Faith"? always fight the good Fight. God Bless You!

If he believed that, that would be OK. BUT to be a business partner, he would need to have other qualities, of course.

Nah!!
I've certainly proved that is not so.
He will provide 'necessities' if we believe in Him; but he certainly won't necessarily make your business run for you.
You have to learn the correct principles yourself.

I feel that way and I am in business for myself. I do however understand that I have to do my part.
