Clairvaux Manifesto, page 149

(quote) Pure kingdom-businesses are highly personalized, deeply rooted in prayer, openly interdisciplinary, and skilled in international diplomacy so they can thrive among governments and leaders who are deeply concerned for their national well-being and future hope. There are many hybrid kingdom-business leaders whom God is calling to collaborate more in interdisciplinary conversations. And it’s not like God needs businesslike people to “manage the kingdom,” proclaiming some blue-suit, plastic version of God’s temple paradise. It’s more that the root of dignitary is dignity!

Much of our current business and busyness are sore excuses for moral laziness. Look at the example of King David who gave the blueprints of his dream and his personal fortune to his son Solomon. His treasure followed his heart. What are you doing with what has been entrusted to you? There are reasons why all “God’s stuff” keeps changing human hands. We need cycles like Jubilee (Lv 25) to keep us from turning our ideological ideas into idolatrous disasters. Even Solomon’s temple came down to make room for Zerubbabel’s modest rebuilding. Whenever God is not present in our words, we are spewing ideology. Wherever God is not present in our structures, we are constructing idolatries—mimicking and mocking heaven.
