Attribute 9: Genuinely caring for people

The Apostle Paul reminds us in his 2nd letter to the church in Corinth that God “comforts us in all of our troubles.” He brings healing into our lives and through Christ and others as they provide comfort, encouragement and support to us. We comfort others with the same comfort we’ve received from God. We genuinely care for others as we allow God to work through us to bring his comfort, encouragement and support into their life (2 Cor. 1:3-7).

Attribute 8: Maintaining a standard of excellence with integrity

Imagine you’ve hired a contractor to build an addition on your home. He has a reputation for superior work, innovation, and impeccable honesty. Early Monday morning you open the door and are shocked to see Jesus and crew standing there, tool bags in hand. He delights in the stunned look on your face. Without delay they passionately dive into their work as if crafting for a king; materials yield to their well-honed skills.

Attribute 5: Living an integrated life with proper life priorities

We often talk about the various parts of life--family, church, work, friends, and recreation--in terms of departments, compartments or silos. When we do this we may fail to see and experience the unifying thread of God at work in every aspect of our life.

Attribute 4: Helping others grow spiritually through life-on-life discipleship

As a businessman we can go through very turbulent periods in our lives, business and/or personal. At those times when we might trust no one...Yet God may provide us with a brother, or you may be the brother, called to take the time to build a relationship of trust based on genuine care. It’s a process that is called life-on-life discipleship. During this process CBMC provides a study called Operation Timothy. It can plant a seed in someone’s life that can change them for eternity. It can lead someone to a relationship with Jesus Christ and start them on a journey of spiritual growth.
