Comments on: My Business Philosophy…in a nutshell http://nataliespianostudio.com/blog/2006/09/19/my-business-philosophyin-a-nutshell/ "For to me to live is Christ." It is my goal to honor and glorify Jesus Christ in every area of my life and to use the talents, skills and opportunities He gives me to further His kingdom Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:09:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Diana http://nataliespianostudio.com/blog/2006/09/19/my-business-philosophyin-a-nutshell/comment-page-1/#comment-32 Diana Thu, 05 Oct 2006 23:13:37 +0000 http://nataliespianostudio.com/blog/2006/09/19/my-business-philosophyin-a-nutshell/#comment-32 You're welcome Natalie. And yes, you've understood me correctly - a Christian organisation that doesn't allow you to mention Christ! My manager's explanation for this is something along the lines of not wanting to offend anyone or make anyone feel uncomfortable (as we are not staffed entirely by Christians and not all of our clients are Christians either). I am so thankful that I have made a Christian friend here in my workplace - we e-mail Scripture and encouragement to each other during the day :) Diana You’re welcome Natalie.

Do I understand you correctly - the Christian organization doesn't allow you to mention Christ? Why on earth would they have a policy like that? Thanks, Diana!

I love the way you've addressed the issue so succintly. It is certainly inspiring for other aspiring businesspeople (like me!). I work for a Christian organisation and we are not allowed to mention Christ at all. Not even in internal e-mail messages! However, I just got off the phone with a client and when she said goodbye she said "Thankyou and God bless you". It really made my day :) Your post has certainly given me food for thought Natalie - thanks. Diana (in Australia) I agree with Naddy - a great post Natalie.

Yum! That's great what you're doing at the Farmer's Market! It's so neat to see how God places Christians in all different places and gives us the opportunity to influence those within our sphere. Kara~ That's such a good question to ask ourselves. We should get together and brainstorm about this some more! Naddy~

I have been thinking about this subject for a while, in regards to my own teaching studio. I have to ask myself the question, "how is my teaching different from the avervage non-Christian's?" Sad to say, I fall short many times. I want to strive to be distinctively Christian in every activity of my life! Thanks for posting this, Natalie.

A man I know was recently told by his employer that his refusal to work on Sunday for religious reasons was him bringing his private life to work. He told them, "There is only one of me!" I sell breads at our local Farmer's Market, and have a Bible verse on my labels. Not once have I had a complaint, and many times people comment positively. And it is a good reminder to me to be a good witness by my attitude and behavior! Great post, Natalie! :-) I agree!
