The Generosity Contradiction

We have grown up hearing “it is more blessed to give than to receive” and this sounds wonderful in church on Sunday. But, how do we apply this basic scriptural teaching of Jesus in our businesses the other six days of the week? Don’t we have to operate under a contradictory principle that “income is better than outgo”? Are these two principles compatible? What are the core values by which you operate your business? Are they compatible with Jesus’ teachings? Can your business become an oil well, fueling the Kingdom of God with mature people, top talent, and generous funds?
