Business owners should not have to choose between violating their faith and violating the law.
From David Green
Coming from a family of preachers, the idea of giving back has been part of my life as long as I can remember.
When Hobby Lobby was created in the early 1970s, I was committed to use profits to help ministry work.
When I take a risk, I like it to be a calculated risk, meaning I make it as small as possible.
This is my hobby: growing stores, adding stores. It's fun.
I want to know that I have affected people for eternity. I believe I am. I believe once someone knows Christ as their personal savior, I've affected eternity. I matter 10 billion years from now.
It's so easy to make things complicated in business.
I realize that a lot of business leaders may disagree with me, but I truly believe that God belongs in what my company does. By putting Him first in my operations, He can bless what I attempt.
My father and mother had tremendous integrity, and obviously that affected me.
Our Heavenly Father is pleased when we don't compromise our faith and principles in times of desperation.
