Business Mountain
The free market system is a God-given gift, enabling us to build wealth through enterprise, creativity, and effort. We believe in limiting the role of government in our nation’s business practices and allowing the free markets to run their course. We also espouse prosperity with a purpose, calling upon those who manage businesses to lead with integrity, honesty and by Biblical principles. 1
Making wise choices where you shop and being careful about where you spend your hard-earned money can greatly impact the culture. By frequenting businesses that support Biblical values and by avoiding those businesses that promote ungodly advertising and products, Christians can influence the culture of businesses. In addition, Christian businesses must be aware of the big push for ESG and social credit scoring, particularly affecting small businesses, and fight against it, in order to reverse this trend.
Influence the culture by being selective about the businesses that you patronize!

The ESG is a form of social credit scoring system.

The big push behind this movement includes our government, the World Economic Forum, the U.N., the Clinton Foundation, and the International Monetary Fund. All European companies are required to have ESG. scores, including European companies that have locations in the United States. (video published May, 2023)
