Is business either a means to an end, for example opening for evangelism, or an end in itself, to bring salt and light? Either perspective can be held by a Kingdom person but for the kingdom business person the question of, “Why am I in business not out starting churches or working as a pastor?” may continually haunt. Let us assume for this article that this person is a Christian and recognizes that God is the ultimate owner of the business. Let’s also assume that the business person is a good leader, which includes treating employees and customers with respect and dignity. But why be in business why not go into social work or any other nonprofit work? Many have postulated that going into business should be as much a call as going into a professional ministry like being a church leader or a professional helper like being a social worker1.
