Dave does the Bible

Finance guru Dave Ramsey’s recent presentation at LifeChurch.tv was filled with references to Scripture.

Hey, it appeared that most folks appreciated the guy preaching a mix of money 101 and Bible study.

He was at a church, right?

When in church, do as the church folks do …

Actually, this was on par with what Ramsey teaches. He has always been up front about the fact that many of his finance tips are based on biblical principles.

The nationally syndicated radio show host is known for his financial management books and his popular classes Financial Peace University, which are taught in many places, including lots of churches. 

I talked to a couple of people after the town hall here in Oklahoma City and they said they loved Ramsey’s talk that night, especially his use of Scripture. They mentioned appreciating the fact that he praised Christian business leaders like Oklahoma’s own David Green, owner of Hobby Lobby.
