At the end of a cab ride in Chengdu, my driver pulled over at my destination and asked, “You using Alipay?”—referring to the ubiquitous mobile phone app. No, I explained, I only had cash. I pulled out 50 RMB ($7.50) for the 25 RMB ride. “Oh,” the taxi driver responded, surprised anyone in 2017 still used cash. “I’m so sorry, I don’t have any change.” I ended up running out to a nearby store to break my 50 (thankfully the cashier had some physical bills stashed away) and returning to pay the embarrassed driver.

I’m so embarrassed. It was a basic principle of Christian stewardship—and I almost missed it! And as I’ve checked around, I sense others may be missing it as well.

To make the point, I have to tell you candidly that I’m a few years older than my wife, Carol. Which means that I became eligible for Social Security benefits a few years before she did.

Wells Fargo announced Thursday its fake bank account scandal is much worse than first disclosed. Investigators say bank employees opened 3.5 million accounts without customers’ knowledge, up from the 2.1 million initially discovered. The bank thought the scandal began in 2011 but quickly realized it stretched as far back as 2009. Wells Fargo employees opened the accounts under pressure from managers to meet aggressive sales targets.

BALTIMORE—After the fifth robbery at gunpoint of Park Cafe & Coffee Bar in a few months, owner David Hart decided something had to change. He was trying to keep his young coffee shop afloat in one of the few economically thriving Baltimore neighborhoods, Bolton Hill. It was a welcoming café, with delicious espressos, minimalist white counters, exposed brick walls, and a restored garage door that opened onto a porch on the street. The proximity to the street created an easy getaway for thieves.

With the GOP promising a “repeal and replace” of Obamacare, all eyes have turned to the U.S. Senate. The House passed a repeal-and-replace bill, the American Health Care Act, on May 4, and while the Senate is widely expected to make adjustments to the House plan, the reconciliation process gives senators a path to repeal and replace that requires only 51 votes, versus the 60 normally needed to prevent a filibuster.

As I finished reading “Value vs. values,” published in the April 1 issue of WORLD Magazine, I should have felt relieved because the writer let me off the hook. He gave me reasons why I didn’t need to worry if my investing practices didn’t align with my personal beliefs. But I didn’t feel relieved at all—in fact, I was even more troubled. Is Biblically responsible investing something I should pursue? Shouldn’t I at least attempt to be set apart from a sin-filled world where possible?

Should Christians emphasize “value” investing (making investing decisions around the economic value of a given investment opportunity) or “values” investing (buying stock only in companies that meet Biblical moral criteria)—and if the latter, which criteria to emphasize?
