The business world today can be a very intimidating place for a Christian entrepreneur. You see, business today has gotten to a very competitive point. Money makes this world go round. All over the world some people would do anything for money.
This fact makes most Christian entrepreneurs afraid. Most think that money will somehow corrupt their morals and interfere with their Christian living. A verse most Christian entrepreneurs keep repeating to themselves is “Money is the root of all evil.” (I Tim. 6:10). However, many Christians fail to realize that there is much more to this verse that changes its meaning.
When you read the whole verse, you can actually see that it says “For the love of money is the root of all evil.” That’s right: money per se cannot be the source of all evil because it is an inanimate object. A lot of good has been produced by money, and if money is so bad, then how come we always give tithes and offerings?
The love for money is the root of all evil. This talks about greed. Christian entrepreneurs should never let greed rule their lives. Money is important. However, you should not learn to “love” it. You should not let it dictate your life. You should not make decisions that favor money instead of your character.
Greed, as we all know, is dangerous not just to Christian entrepreneurs, but to other types of businessmen as well. Most people fall down because of their greed by compromising their principles. Principles keep a company in line. In fact, Christian entrepreneurs build their companies based on principles.

Another very good example of a successful Christian entrepreneur is Henry Ford. Ford ran his company under Christian principles and was rewarded by having work efficiency reach a very high level.
