My mum said an interesting thing yesterday: “The opposite of stealing is not not stealing. It is not even doing an honest day’s work to supply your own needs. No, the opposite of stealing is working hard so you can be constantly helping others.”
This is the view the Apostle Paul shares in Ephesians: “He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need.”
I was thinking about this, and then quite by chance I came across a perfect example in Guildford businessman Kim Tan, a millionaire enterpreneur who practices what he calls ‘Social Venture Capitalism‘. He is profiled in a fascinating article here in Christianity magazine, where he sums up his intentions thus: “I am in the business of making wealth to distribute wealth.”
I’ve started a special category of Make Wealth History heroes, and he can be number one.
