1 Timothy 5:18

This is a collection of Bible verses that speak directly to how we should handle ourselves as business owners. God has given us instruction on how to operate a business His way. I pray this gives you wisdom and direction as you follow Him with your business.

After decades of consulting with new entrepreneurs, Rick Boxx, founder and CEO of Unconventional Business Network, has compiled a list of common mistakes he finds this group of new business owners making. You can avoid making these mistakes by following the sound advice of Scripture.

Christians are different. They can’t help it. When you’re born again and filled with the Spirit, it changes you. This leads to different values about right and wrong, and a different lifestyle to match it. This series of 5-day plans uses the 10 Commandments (following the classic Augustinian ordering) as a vehicle for an alternative, Christ-like morality and Jesus-way of living.

The first of Paul’s three “pastoral epistles,” 1 Timothy focuses on the church as a “pillar and buttress of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15). In the letter, Paul commands Timothy to “guard the deposit” (1 Timothy 6:20) by combatting false teachers, protecting the flock of Christ, and structuring the church well. 1 Timothy shows us the incredible privilege of being in God’s church and the high calling of leading it.
