Forbes columnist Salutes Crown Financial Ministries: "A Christian Alternative To 'Davos Man' And The Federal Reserve"

Crown "taught a new generation of Christians the Biblical admonitions toward productive labor, spending control, thrift and generosity," said Jerry Bowyer.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a column out today at Forbes Magazine, columnist Jerry Bowyer applauded the "consciously counter-cultural" impact of a values-based approach to finances premiered during a recent Crown Financial Ministries sponsored event – the Christian Economic Forum -- in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where Christian business leaders from across the globe met to offer another perspective on the seismic economic issues impacting the world. And the timing is unique.

The event precedes the Federal Reserve meeting, and the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. "It is a Christian alternative to these gatherings of the national and the global elite of the financial ruling class," noted Bowyer, one of Crown's CEO Chuck Bentley's "best ideas."

In his column, Bowyer discussed his comments at the event, which detailed a clash in worldviews between "Davos Man," who sees himself as a god, and a Christian understanding of God, seen in Jesus Christ. One sets himself up to rule; the other comes as a servant to all.

"Davos Man," the quintessential member of the economic planning elite, is today's economic Goliath compared to the David of the Christian entrepreneur, observed Bowyer.

He continued: "If somebody tries to rule the world in place of God in the name of stability, they do not produce stability. They produce chaos. We are living in the age of financial chaos because we gave in to the men who said, 'Treat me like a god and I will give you stability.' So it's a great moment in history."
