DOES IT COME WITH UNDERSTANDING OF THE EXCLUSIVE SERVICE?
No man can be a slave to two owners; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will cleave to the one and despise the other. You cannot be a slave to God and to material things. Matthew 6:24
A wise student of the ultimate Wisdom and Truth, the Scottish author William Barclay, observed the following:
... wealth is always a subordinate good. The Bible does not say that, "Money is the root of all evil," it says that "The love of money is the root of all evils" (1 Timothy 6:10). It is quite possible to find in material things what someone has called "a rival salvation." A man may think that, because he is wealthy, he can buy anything, that he can buy his way out of any situation. Wealth can become his measuring-rod; wealth can become his one desire; wealth can become the one weapon with which he faces life. If a man desires material things for an honourable independence, to help his family and to do something for his fellow-men, that is good; but if he desires it simply to heap pleasure upon pleasure, and to add luxury, if wealth has become the thing he lives for and lives by, then wealth has ceased to be a subordinate good, and has usurped the place in life which only God should occupy.
P.S. Just for the President of the United States of America: There are mighty few people who think what they think they think, per Robert Henri. What do YOU really think about YOUR response to the call for Exclusive Service?

ABOUT THE USBA.us
This is a service to enhance the outlook for the ultra-small business community in the United States: 3,000,000 independently owned firms seeking the pride and freedom of entrepreneurship by doing business with each other.
Ultra-small firms represent more than half of the for-profit enterprises in the USA, and their people are the roots that nourish and feed all larger firms, non-profits, churches, and local, state and federal governments in America!
This web site is funded from my hip pocket by earned advisory fees and sales of educational business books and publications I have authored since 1979 (i.e. by John C. Randall ) at RGIofVa.com. Buying these valuable "real-world based" publications is a fully-deductible business expense, not a charitable item. Publications from the Randall Group, Inc., have a 30 day money-back guarantee (see web site for details). The ads on this site are NOT google(tm) or amazon(tm) ads, they are simply links to sites that you can explore and use if you wish to contact me for my services and publications. Also this entity does not endorse any use of social media as a primary means for development of an independent enterprise or church, even though many do so (at their own risk of dependency). Hint: Get your own domain name and independent web site hostiing and e-mail service.
I may also be available as a speaker for your group, conference, convention, trade show, radio or TV broadcast, etc. Contact me at John@JohnCRandall.com for availability and rates. Also, if you are an aspiring politician, you might wish to contact me for insights that are not published.

P.S. If you did the math, you discovered that I am only 85 years old. I am still very much alive, serving clients and blessed to be healthy, living life to the fullest, day-by-day, and all the Glory goes to the one true God: the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
