We need to recognize that biblical finance, managing money is a spiritual issue. Did you know that Jesus spoke more about money than He did about any other topic? In fact, 15 percent of all the recorded words of Jesus are on the subject of money — more than His teachings on heaven and hell combined. Why did money matter so much to Jesus?
To Jesus, our attitude towards money is of utmost importance, because it is a reflection of our attitude towards God. As Larry Burkett said, “You can tell more about the spiritual lives of a couple by looking at their checkbook than by anything else.”
Everything we have comes from God. He owns it, and He entrusts it to us to use for His purposes. True financial success comes not from accumulating a large surplus in our bank account, but from following God’s plan for our finances. As we do this, He will provide for all of our needs.

ETHICS, MORALITY AND ECONOMIC BOYCOTT
A significant number of corporations lend support and legitimacy to abortion through their corporate philanthropic programs. The Corporate Funding Project has used the economic boycott as a key part of its effort to convince more than 313 corporations to stop funding Planned Parenthood, the world’s leading abortion-promoting group. The American Family Association has used boycotts to stop Target from instituting unisex bathrooms. The organizers of these efforts make repeated attempts to convince a verified corporation with letters and education; but when that fails, as is often the case, the economic boycott is utilized.
What Is An Economic Boycott?
The Albert Einstein Institution defines an economic boycott as, “The withdrawal or withholding of economic cooperation in the form of buying, selling, or handling of goods or services, often accompanied by efforts to induce others to do likewise. It may be practiced on local, regional, national, or international levels.”
An article in Freedom Daily quotes Gene Sharp who authored The Politics of Nonviolent Action. Sharp defines a boycott as “the refusal to continue or to undertake certain economic relationships, especially the buying, selling, or handling of goods and services.”
The economic boycott has often been associated with left wing politics. This may be a reason why conservatives and others overlook or dismiss boycotting as a strategy to achieve their goals. “Most people associate the word ‘boycott’ with ‘60s radicals,” reports IN Fashion. “But boycotting is a well-respected, effective and legal means of nonviolent protest, as well as a vehicle of change.” This fact is now more widely known and accepted than ever before in history.
