● Profit Motive ●
Present-day profit-motivated economics is doomed unless profit motives can be augmented by service motives. Ruthless competition based on narrow-minded self-interest is ultimately destructive of even those things which it seeks to maintain. Exclusive and self-serving profit motivation is incompatible with Christian ideals — much more incompatible with the teachings of Jesus.
In economics, profit motivation is to service motivation what fear is to love in religion. But the profit motive must not be suddenly destroyed or removed; it keeps many otherwise slothful mortals hard at work. It is not necessary, however, that this social energy arouser be forever selfish in its objectives.
The profit motive of economic activities is altogether base and wholly unworthy of an advanced order of society; nevertheless, it is an indispensable factor throughout the earlier phases of civilization. Profit motivation must not be taken away from men until they have firmly possessed themselves of superior types of nonprofit motives for economic striving and social serving — the transcendent urges of superlative wisdom, intriguing brotherhood, and excellency of spiritual attainment.
Wonderful! Thank you, Mugerwa! And you're such a handsome young man, Tony!!
This Saturday, September 30, we will study the subject Leadership on Civilization and Religious Leadership. We will read Paper 195, chapter 9 and 10.
Says the revelator in Paper 195: “The world needs to see Jesus living again on earth in the experience of spirit-born mortals who effectively reveal the Master to all men.” 195:10.1 (2084.1)
The participants will be invited to share what aspects of the Jesus life or his teachings are the more appealing to you. How can we attain the great purpose of Jesus’ earthly life? Is it possible to us?
All are welcome to share the spiritual fraternity and learn together how to better serve the Revelation!
