Why Business Matters to God

Why Business Matters to God – Jeff Van Duzer

Jeff Van Duzer argues that business is not a second-class calling. God cares about the creation of goods and services, the provision of meaningful work, and the stewardship of resources. Business can be a genuine participation in God’s ongoing work of creation and provision when it is practiced with integrity and love for neighbor. The goal is not merely to make money so we can support “real” ministry, but to see the work itself as a sphere in which God can be honored.
