Best
Practices
Business leaders have been working with the concept of best
practices for decades. Within a group of individuals who
are performing similar tasks, evaluate what techniques and
behavior are utilized by the most successful individuals,
and share them with everyone.
This concept applies to spiritual business as well. Regardless
of your beliefs or religion, the lifestyles of great spiritual
leaders can reveal helpful spiritual best practices for you
to use. Learn more about the lives of the spiritual geniuses
of the world, and study carefully what worked for them.
This type of study
and learning is best done through individual reading and
small-group (three to ten people) discussion.
Consider starting your own spiritual best-practices study
group if one isn’t already available to you.
It is important
to read the original source to get an undistorted view
of the leader’s activities and behavior. Here
are some key original sources:
- Abraham,
Moses, David, the Hebrew prophets: the Old Testament of
the Bible
- John
the Baptist, Jesus: the New Testament of the Bible (The
Gospels, especially of Mark)
- Peter,
Paul: the New Testament of the Bible (Acts of the Apostles,
Epistles)
- Mohammed:
the Koran
