Business in the Kingdom

In a recent article in National Review Online, Nebraska Treasurer John Murante (https://ballotpedia.org/John_Murante) demonstrates that the ESG investing approached (Environmental, Social, Governance) being promoted by giant asset managers hurts not only the fossil fuel industry, but agriculture as well. Since the poor spend a much larger proportion of their income on food and energy, an investment approach that attacks those industries attacks the poor. Treasurer Murante also discusses with Business in the Kingdom how ESG empowers tyrannies such as China.

What is Business in the Kingdom?

Every part of life is, or at least should be, in the Kingdom of God. As the great theologian Abraham Kuyper once said, "There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, 'Mine!'" Business, finance and economics are every bit as much part of the Kingdom as churches and ministries. And Jerry Bowyer believes that, in our day, the marketplace will be key to revival, reformation and renewal. Hear him discuss these essential issues on "Business in the Kingdom."
