Our Philosophy

Now the aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith (1 Tim: 1:5)

Our basic philosophies for doing business are based on biblical principles and are outlined below.  We don't expect everyone to agree with us, nor do we use these as any kind of "litmus test" for building relationships.  Generally speaking, this just what we think about how our business should operate.  We generally don't recommend someone to a client that we feel supports philosophies that are in stark contrast to these.

- Do unto others as we would have them do unto us. (Mathew 7:12)

We do not take undue advantage of others in need.  We try to treat those we come in contact with in the same way as we would like to be treated if we were in their shoes.

This also means that we try to keep our prices reasonable.  We believe that greed can easily become a motivation to do evil to others, especially toward those that are in difficult circumstances. (Hebrews 13:5).

- Be truthful with everyone. (Ephesians 4:25)

We do not act in a deceiving way with others.  We make sure you have all the information necessary to make informed decisions when you need to and we don't withhold information just because it might be in our favor.  In short, we value long-term relationships based on honesty and trust rather than short-term relationships geared toward making a single sale.

- Be benevolent, especially toward the ministries of other Christians. (Galatians 6:10)

We view the work of other Christians as that of family and believe that we are commanded not to hinder them.  This does not mean that just because someone goes to church that we work for free.  What it means for us is that we recognize that many individuals and organizations, including churches, are actively involved in Christian ministries and need assistance from time to time just like anyone else.  Our assistance to these clients, whether for fee or free, is an act on our part of participation in their particular work.  We value those relationships as different than one of mere business and measure those profits to include something greater than money.

- Give special care to orphans and widows. (James 1:27)

There are many places in the Bible where God makes it clear that he holds a special place in his heart for widows and orphans.  We believe that he also makes it plain that he looks carefully at the treatment that others give to them.  We believe that in many ways he acts as their advocate husband or father.  We therefore take the care of widows and orphans very seriously, as though we are seeing to the needs of those who are particularly special to God.

- Conduct our business according to the laws of society. (Romans 13:1-14)

While it would be easy to say that we abide by laws because we have to, that is actually not the case.  We could decide to do whatever we want because we follow God's laws rather than the laws of man.  However, we don't believe that this is what we should do.  We feel that the laws of the land should be followed, inasmuch as they are not contrary to God's laws, because it is healthy for society for businesses to do so.  We act so in the hopes that other businesses will do likewise.

- Always do our best work. (Colossians 3:23)

This is our quality statement.  In short, we do our best.  If you think it could be done better, please let us know where and how we can improve.  We strive toward perfection but also know that we are imperfect people in an imperfect world.  So, with the intent of continuously improving, we will always do our best this time and even better next time.
