Title: Is China Headed for a Recession?
Topic: China

Discussed by Chuck Bentley
with Crown Financial Ministries (www.Crown.org)

Part 1 of 2

Although many products are now made in China, their ever-expanding economy is not helping them. In fact, their economy is crashing – hard. Chuck Bentley is the President and CEO of Crown Financial Ministries. CFM has had a team working in China for over a decade, teaching business leaders in major cities key financial principals from the late Larry Burkett’s book, “Business by the Book”. Chuck Bentley reveals how this book and its principals have literally caught fire in China, helping people learn why it is important to do business the right way the first time.

Chuck is not the only person who believes China is headed for a downfall; many other economists and financial experts are now shouting the same warning. China has had over forty years of growth and now they are experiencing a plateau. Chuck also discusses how China may have been too eager to buy debt from America. Did this contribute to their current economic state?

Yet another issue in danger of collapse due to the downfall of the Chinese economy is employment – in America! But how is this possible? Chuck says, “Since 2008, 30% of the world’s economic growth has occurred because of China’s economy. When that economy starts to contract it will effect everybody.”

Title: Part 2 of 2 - Is China Headed for a Recession?
Topic: China

Discussed by Chuck Bentley
with Crown Financial Ministries (www.Crown.org)

Chuck believes that the current situation in China is the most dire the world is facing. Their downward financial spiral will affect the entire world. The late Larry Burkett, the founder of Crown Financial Ministries, referenced this Proverb often: “The wise man sees danger and seeks refuge”. We protect our families from physical danger; likewise, we should protect them from financial ruin. The same goes for the government.

Chuck offers three suggestions for this. First, we’re a nation of high debt and low savings, both in government and our families. China is the exact opposite. Most families in China save three times more than the average family in America. We must, as families, communities, cities, and a nation, start saving more than we spend. Listen in as Chuck explains his two other suggestions for families and the government.

Chuck also describes the difficulties he and others have sharing the Gospel in China. Please pray for Christians in China. Pray that God’s Word will be spread far and wide in the country and that it will reach the leader’s ears.

Chuck’s book, “The Worst Financial Mistakes in the Bible and How You can Avoid Them”,  highlights some of the worst mistakes made by both heroes and villains of the Bible, the consequences they faced, and what you can do to avoid falling into these same traps. Order your copy today!

Topic: Biblical Principles

Discussed by Chuck Bentley
with Crown Financial Ministries (www.Crown.org)

Biblical thinking should impact our daily life – our family, jobs, and even the government. How many times have you said something, not giving it a second thought, only to realize later that it was actually quit unbiblical?

Today, Chuck Bentley, the President and CEO of Crown Financial Ministries, talks about the sin of “coveting”. Former NBA star Charles Barkley recently drew national attention with his candid comments referring to the envy between ‘successful blacks’ and others in the community, referring to ‘crabs in a barrel’. Mr. Barkley was referring to an African Proverb – “Put one crab in a pot and it will escape. Put two crabs in a pot and neither will escape.”

Listen in as Chuck Bentley discusses this Proverb, why humans were created by God, the economy, and being financially wise.
Chuck says this: “Biblical Principles are timeless. They never go out of style.”
