Come up with a crazy business idea.
Crazy world, crazy business—selling friends for money, selling statesmanship for prides, and selling family members for own survival, etc. (1 Timothy 3:1-4), comes from the very first business idea of Adam’s selling of his obedience (out of greed and pride) for the fruits of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Greed travels in time, and to Jesus’ days Judas sold Jesus for 30 silver coins (Matthew 27:3,4,9).
The love for money is a root of all kinds of evil (2 Timothy 6:10). Greedy people who wander from the truth never stop selling others, not for others.
Unrepentant sinners do not buy the wisest and precious business—Jesus, for the love of God to the worldly people, sold His own life for the lives of many, nor do the unrepentant receive Jesus’ followers who sell their own lives to testify for the truth.
There are also those who do not want to buy wisdom, righteousness and integrity, for these are the ‘craziest’ and most unprofitable business to them.
Of all crazy and rewarding business ideas, martyrdom is the one to win them all, for the seen is traded for money and the unseen for the future.
Trading goods for goods or for money is indispensable for day-to-day humans survival on the earth. Trading love for heavenly treasure is forever-lasting, whereas trading lust for extravagant living on earth is shorted-lived.
Between ‘love’ business and ‘lust’, my choice of the crazier business idea is clear and firm to me. But, what would you choose?

Proverbs 3:13-15
“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.”
