As Jesus is the cornerstone upon which the Church is built, so are his teachings the unifying cornerstone of Christian doctrine.

The Billionaire Standard

Billionaires with their stretch limos, mansions and yachts set a certain standard. They are great examples of diligence and tenacity. But, they are not the real heroes of the world. Their philanthropy usually occurs without great self-sacrifice. They often pay folks minimum wages so they can live in opulence. There is a real hero that none of them can match. He became poor so that his people could live a better life (2 Corinthians 8:9). Are there such people in corporate life? Where are the billionaires who continue to run their companies for the benefit of others and live a life of self-sacrificial poverty? Who is genuinely there to enrich each and every employee's family? As God, Jesus was richer than them all. He sets the true billionaire standard. It remains the highest standard for all to attain.
