Faith-Based Investing
One of the many freedoms we enjoy in our country is the freedom of choice. Economists call it a free market economy when it comes to our money. We exchange our dollars with companies that provide valuable products and services and invest our money in companies for a potential return. When we buy stocks or bonds, we fund the company's ability to produce its product or service.
Our investments sponsor companies that manufacture products we buy daily, from cars to computers and food to clothing. As a result, virtually every aspect of our free market economy, along with the many services we enjoy and appreciate, such as transportation, health care, housing, banking, and cable TV, is ultimately sustained by our investments.
Just as "We Are The Government" by voting, we are also "Wall Street" through spending and investing dollars. As a result, more and more investment opportunities are becoming available, enabling the discerning investor to avoid supporting and profiting from companies involved in socially destructive activities.

Over the past several years, we have been learning more and more about ways to invest that avoid and express our non-approval to companies involved in or supporting these life-destroying products or services. Because of this excellent, free market economy, we can choose not to partner with corporations that participate in activities that contradict what the Bible considers suitable. The result is to invest in "Biblically responsible" ways.
Biblically responsible investing (BRI) is a movement that has been growing for some time. As a result, more and more investment opportunities are becoming available, enabling the discerning investor to avoid supporting and profiting from companies that sell products or services or conduct business in a manner that does not align with the investors' values.
