Faith Venture

Nassim Taleb wrote in his book of aphorisms, “I trust everyone except those who tell me they are trustworthy.”

I have observed in my business career “I trust everyone except those who tell me they are evangelical Christians.”

I have done business with many Christians (and non-Christians) in my life. Those who wear evangelical Christianity on their sleeve have cost me much money and grief.

Suggestion for us all—If we are going to be outspoken about that faith, perhaps we should pause every evening before bed reflecting upon our day. We ask at what points would Jesus have been pleased and at what points would he have given a reprimand. Weigh the balance.

As for me, I am challenged and humbled every day by things I have done or left undone that belie my belief of really being a follower of Jesus.
