God and Money

Organizational leaders must guard against the temptation to seek to worship God and money, which is impossible. The primary goal of organizations should not be financial profit but alignment with the will and ways of God. Profit is a by-product of alignment with God. And given the intentional strategic nature of God, the profit that God grants an organization is what is needed for the organization to fulfill God’s purpose. Organizational success is therefore measured by the degree of obedience to the will and ways of God. Financial considerations are secondary to the primary objective of alignment with God. This makes organizational leadership and financial stewardship spiritual activities.
