Starting your Christian home based business is a big decision. There are so many factors to consider. Will you be able to make the income you desire? Can you create the lifestyle you’ve dreamed of? What kind of hours will you have to put in to be successful? What are the risks? What are the rewards? Here are some good thoughts about starting a Christian business from home.First of all, you need to know that business isn’t evil. When the internet first came out, Christians were skeptical and many even said that it was evil. There are certainly quite a few things on the internet that are evil but the internet itself is not evil. You can download your favorite preaching, connect with missionaries around the globe and discuss theology on blog forums. The point is that, whether a medium is good or bad is determined by the person using it. Your business can be a tool that is used for good.A business is, essentially, a solution to someone’s problem.As a business owner, you are solving problems. The size of the problem that you fix determines how much you get paid. A doctor gets paid the big bucks because he solves a big problem. A fast-food chain worker doesn’t really solve a big problem and their paycheck reflects that. Everyday people type their specific problems into Google and hope that someone out there has an answer for them. You may have the answer to their problem. If you have something that you do well, whether it be teaching science, day care or selling a product, you may have a home-based business that is just waiting to take flight.One of the best parts about having your own business is that you can create a schedule that fits your lifestyle. That could be evil if your lifestyle includes binge drinking at the clubs. Running your own business could mean more time with your family, coaching little league, going on missions trips, volunteering at a soup kitchen or working with your church. All very good things. It means that when something like what happened in New Orleans or in Haiti happens, you don’t have to wonder if you have time off. You can get on a plane and help. That is a very good thing.Lastly, after getting paid for solving someone’s problem, you can earn a great income. By starting your Christian home based business you will have money. Money has a bad reputation in the Christian community and for good reason. People do a lot of evil things with money. You don’t have to be one of those people. The love of money is, in fact, the root of many, many evils. You don’t have to love money. You can tell a lot about a person by how they spend their money. It is an outward expression of what is inside a person’s heart. As a Christian, there are many good ways to spend your money. You can start a trust for your child’s education, give to charity, give to your local church, orphans and widows would also appreciate the fruit of your labors.There are plenty of good reasons to start your Christian home based business. You can solve problems and help others, create a schedule that fits your lifestyle, earn a great income, and you can work for yourself and know that your business is anything but evil.
