Title: Biblical Thinking Should Impact Our Economic Life: Thou Shalt Not Covet
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.”
