Is it difficult to be a Christian and successful, hard-charging businessman?
I don’t think so. The issue is if you are going to trust God in your life or not. My brother–who joined me in 1969–and I made the decision we would try to operate our company in the way God would expect. We had to ask how far to go with the Christian aspect. We saw that if we carried it too far we could offend people, our employees could quit or we might get sued by the government. We decided to pray about it and came across Matthew 10:28, where we are told to fear not, but if we feared anyone to fear someone who can do something to you after you are dead. We concluded that if we were going to make someone unhappy, we didn’t want it to be God. We prayed and asked God to help us to be a great witness for him but at the same time to be perfectly bold and perfectly sensitive so we wouldn’t offend anyone. We prayed, “Thy will be done.” It’s going on 25 years now, and he has allowed us to be successful and at the same time I pray that we are winsome inside and outside the church.
