The Scriptures Are the Foundation


The Bible is the Word of God. This is a simple statement, but profound. Do we believe it to be true?

"All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be equipped for every good work" (2 Timothy 3.16)

This is a description of the nature of Scripture, its purposes, and its capabilities. This says the Scripture is useful for equipping the man of God for every good work, such as running a company for Christ. Do you believe it to be true? Do you want to be equipped? Equipping will not occur without studying the Scriptures on a daily basis. We are in a lifetime school for being equipped by God to run His company for Him. We are earning our MBP ÔÇô Masters in Business by Prayer - and knowing the Scriptures well is the basis for all the rest of the equipping.

Note the word "God breathedÔÇØ (theopneustos). This is the only place in Scripture this word is used. This tells us the Scriptures are not just inspired but personally dictated by God. By studying the scriptures we have the incredible opportunity to view the mind of Christ and learn the basic principles of how God wants us to run these companies for Him as platforms for ministry and our lives. Don't miss the opportunity. Study the Scriptures daily.
