Here Are 5 Christian Companies That Join Chick-fil-A in Publicly-Proclaiming Their Bible-Based Views

Chick-fil-A isn’t the only company willing to share its Christian faith with the world. While attaching a specific religious view to a product or service holds the potential to turn a portion of consumers off, some business leaders and companies stick to their values and intentionally include them in their packaging and messaging. Some of these brands include: Forever 21, Interstate Battery, Tyson Foods, In-N-Out Burger and Hobby Lobby.
Forever 21: Forever 21 is a clothing store that was founded by Don and Jin Chang, devout Christians who moved to America from Korea in 1981. The small store they opened in Los Angeles in 1984 has grown into a mass business comprised of hundreds of locations across the globe.
On the bottom of each bag, shoppers will find “John 3:16,” the popular Bible verse that reads, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Interstate Battery: Norm Miller, chairman of Interstate Batteries, a company that sells — you guessed it, batteries — is also a believer who discusses his faith and salvation publicly. In fact, he even takes to the company’s web site to invite customers and visitors to write to him for prayer advice.
“Norm Miller is also a believer in God’s power to change lives, because it was that power that turned his own life around after years of drinking as hard as he worked,” reads Miller’s personal testimony on Interstate Batteries’ web site.
But, the company goes well beyond merely mentioning God. Miller encourages everyone to accept Jesus Christ as personal savior — a central tenet of the Christian faith. Here’s more from the site:
You can accept Him right now, just like I did, by repeating this prayer and making it the commitment of your heart. Just pray…
“Dear God, I want freedom from the slavery of my sin. I believe Jesus is the Truth, and I accept Him now as my Lord and Savior. I ask you for forgiveness of my sins, because He paid for them for me. Please give me the power to live a life pleasing to You. Thank you for this gift of new and eternal life in Christ! In Jesus’ name, Amen!”
If you prayed this prayer, I’d like to send you some additional information that will help you grow in your understanding of Christianity and in your faith in God. Write to: Norm Miller, “Growth,” 12770 Merit Dr. Suite 1000, Dallas, Texas 75251.
Tyson Foods: Tyson, yet another company that refuses to hide its faith, offers employees chaplain services at plants across America. If people are saddened after the loss of a loved one or coping with a family emergency, these individuals are brought in to pray and assist those in need with coping.
John H. Tyson, the current chairman of the company, is a born-again Christian who believes his values shouldn‘t be pushed to the side when he enters Tyson’s doors.
“My faith is just an ongoing evolution, trying to understand what faith in the marketplace looks like, giving people permission to live their faith seven days a week,” Tyson said back in 2010. “If people can talk about the football game on Monday, why can’t they talk about their faith?”
Tyson Foods is also known for donating mass amounts of food to America’s poor.
In-N-Out Burger: Much like Forever 21, In-N-Out Burger, a fast-food chain based in California, uses John 3:16 as a way to advertise its faith. In fact, the company places the popular verse on the bottom of cups. Here’s what 11Alive.com reports about the popular business:
Western U.S. burger chain In-N-Out has printed citations of Bible passages on cups, wrappers and other pieces of packaging since at least the late 1980s. For instance, “John 3:16″ appears on the bottom of soft drink cups, a reference to the Bible passage…

Hobby Lobby: Last, but not least, is Hobby Lobby, an Oklahoma City-based crafts store chain that very-openly embraces Christianity. Like Chick-fil-A, the company closes its more than 500 stories on Sundays and vocally mentions God on its web site. Here are just a few of the proclamations presented Hobby Lobby’s statement of purpose:
Honoring the Lord in all we do by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles. [...]
Providing a return on the owners’ investment, sharing the Lord’s blessings with our employees, and investing in our community.
We believe that it is by God’s grace and provision that Hobby Lobby has endured. He has been faithful in the past, we trust Him for our future.
As TheBlaze recently reported, Hobby Lobby’s owners are also preparing to build a Bible museum in Washington, D.C., just blocks away from the National Mall. The museum, which is currently being organized, planned and designed, will provide visitors with thousands of Biblical artifacts along with a better understanding of the Old and New Testaments.
While these certainly aren’t the only Christian companies out there, they are some of the most notable. Do you know of any other faith-based businesses that operate at the national level? Feel free to tell us about them in the comments section and we may include them in a future edition of “5 Christian Companies That Publicly-Proclaim Their Christian Faith.”

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 11:18amI support all of these companies and I suggest everyone do the same. If the progressives who complain about these companies (or any belief but their’s), then they should take their hatred across the pond to somewhere like Iran. I‘m sure the mullah’s would welcome these progressives with open arms…just before throwing them in prison or making them dissappear.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 12:32pmThe corridor from Washington DC to Boston has the lowest number of christians in the country. Mostly former catholics. Thus it is a great area for evangelicals to send missionaries. Also that corridor holds one third of the US population. And a third of all universities.
Also the homosexuals and lesbians plan to have a kiss in day at Chick-fil-A Friday. It is typical of them, very childish. Ever notice that most homosexuals seem to act in an immature manner like a bunch of teenagers? The kiss-in is more about getting in your face, sort of like a teenager trying to get adults angry. And homosexuals wonder why the adults in society treat them like children?

I think you are mistaken. Tyson NEVER DISCRIMINATES but continue to uphold their VALUES AND MORALS. However, they will NOT tolerate the force of the gospel upon other employees. AND, they do not allow you to stop working to perform any religious rituals you may have (bowing to the East/Mecca at noon, etc.). If you want to work there, IT WILL BE YOUR CHARACTER THAT GETS AND ALLOWS YOU TO KEEP YOU JOB – NOT YOUR RELIGION, SEXUAL PREFERENCE, ETC. It is a very, very DECENT company to work for. But, they will NOT bend to outside influence either.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 1:29pmSkimmer 57, Chick Fil A doesn’t refuse to serve gay people, so why should it refuse to serve adulterers. And how would they even know if they were adulterers – check marriage licenses. Try to get this through your head. Christians are taught to hate the sin and love the sinner, which means they aren‘t going to try to kill or physically hurt or ostracize those who don’t agree, but they also aren‘t going to say that what they consider sinful is just fine so that a person’s or group‘s feelings aren’t hurt.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 1:34pm@mecanic: Please, do a simple search before you post your comments for everyone to see. Your comment was wrong, and might sway opinion which is not very astute. You’re absolutely incorrect on Tyson supporting islam. To the contrary, they were SUED by islam and a group of Somalis. I think this happened on several occasions. Tyson is a true Equal Opportunity Employer. They hired people knowing they might be of another faith without prejudice and got burned for that. I don’t know if as a Christian I would be able to do that myself.

I personally do not believe in it is right to make laws on banning any type marriage. I still hold to the morals of marriage being between one man and one woman.
I also won’t be boycotting any stores. I understand and don’t blame anyone for doing that though. I have a select few places I shop at and eat at so it’s not a big deal for me.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 2:25pmI understand some of you NOT wanting to do business with companies such as JC Penny, Target, etc. Perfectly within your right to do so. However, isn’t a little tit for tat? “You boycott a company that shares my values? Fine, I’ll boycott a company that shares YOUR values?”
Boycotts do nothing except make a lot of noise with little impact on the financials of a business.
Example: Chic-Fil-A. Probably broke the record yesterday for a single day of business.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 2:26pmI don’t oppose “same sex marriage” (an oxymoron) on the basis of my religious beliefs, but because it’s absolutely contrary to the laws of nature.
Homosexuals and liberals trying to forcefully radicalize the definition of marrige defies natural laws. There’s no such thing as a right to “marry” someone of the same gender. RIGHTS ARE NATURAL. Homosexuals and liberals seek SPECIAL PRIVELAGES and special treatment. There is in our human species only two genders, man and woman. Males were made to mate with females, wherefore a man has a right to marry a woman, likewise the woman has a right to marry a man. We don’t need a Government or any man made laws to tell us that a man may marry a woman. THAT’S NATURAL. I oppose these radical homosexuals as much as I would oppose any adulterer who would seek special privelages or treatment for having a wife, kids, and yet sleeping around with many other women. We don‘t need a Government to tell us that it’s wrong to murder, that’s already in us to know such things. These are natural LAWS. They’re never changing or evolving. Since a man has a right to marry a woman, he also has a right to have and raise kids. We also have natural duties. That is, even if no Government existed, my neighbor may not come to my house and take my life. We have a duty to respect life. Likewise, no man, having a child, may abandon his son, and never take responsiblity for his child’s health and well being. These things are NATURAL.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 2:27pmWe as a christian nation should have an Amendment to the constitution defining marriage. Then it would have to ratified by the each state. And if each state wants to they can hold a referendum on the issue and let their citizens vote on if it should be ratified. The when 38 states ratify it, it is the law of the land. And as we saw in California (until the minority left wing commie judges stepped in) , the liberal of liberalest states, such ratification would take place and then we can tell the homosexual agenda to get out of our schools, stay out of our daily lives, and go back in the closet, no one wants to see your disgusting way of life in public.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 4:31pmTo JZS,
Standard tirade full of phoney-baloney and plastic bananas…
Let me explain to you why these companies support health-care for homosexuals.
1) They are lead by men who want nothing to do with sour publicity that is foisted upon a company if they make any of their true beliefs publically known. They want no such bad public feelings from their customers be they; Christian, Muslim, Mormon, agnostic, atheist, devil-worshippers, homosexual, NAMBLA, perverts, bestialists, whores, liars, thieves, murderers, etceteras. The company exists because of the profit motive, and their stock holder expects a return on the dollar he/she has invested. So rule numero uno – “Don’t piss off your customer”.
2) They want to hire people who are dedicated to helping the company achieve profit. Obscene profit is good for those who work towards enhancing the capitalistic bottom line to earn the almighty dollar. Men and women go to school to have a career in which they can earn a living, raise a family, or a cat if they are homosexual. Good companies want to hire smart people and candidates must have a rationale for working at that company. Salary, health-care, profit-sharing, location, policy, and peers, are all part of the offer and acceptance of a job. Imagine that!
3) Gay people who are activist should not bring their activism to the work place just as I would not be able to bring my evangelism to the work place, under threat of being fired. No problem.

Let’s see if I have this right.
The Iranian mullahs, the minority, dictate laws to the masses according to their views. In America, we have elections where the majority decides the outcome. As of now, the majority has almost always voted down same sex marriage.
But what do we hear from you? You claim that the views of the minority concerning same sex marriage should override the views of the majority who oppose it.
Now wait a minute, where have I heard that before? I literally just read someone with low critical thinking skills griping about that type of theocracy. Oh that’s right. It was you!
You are the one who has it exactly backwards, but should we really expect anything different from the person who claims the Tea Party is racist while simultaneously castigates them for supporting Herman Cain or Allen West? Guess not.

In this day and age with employement so hard to find thanks to our lousy president, a lot of people are forced to take jobs with companies whose stance on religion or the gay marriage isssue they may actually disagree with out of a necessity to survive. So not every single person may be “on board” with the reason of the boycott. If you choose not to patronize them that is your God-given right. But to call for a boycott is just wrong.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 9:23pmHere are even more companies that have strong Christian principles such as Chick Fil A and the ones mentioned above.
Tom’s of Maine. After launching the natural home products company in 1970 with his wife Kate, CEO Tom Chappell nearly left it to pursue full-time Christian ministry. While receiving a master’s at Harvard Divinity School, however, a professor advised him to just treat his business as ministry. “He began bringing in different spiritual leaders to talk to the board about how they could use spiritual principles to run the company,” says the Tyson Center’s Neal. Beyond environmentalism, the company seeks to “create a better world by exchanging our faith, experience, and hope.”
ServiceMaster. Perhaps some of the residential services companies it owns, like Terminix and American Home Shield, will ring a bell.
The company was founded in 1929 by Marion E. Wade, who “had a strong personal faith and a desire to honor God in all he did,” according to ServiceMaster’s website. “Translating this into the marketplace, he viewed each individual employee and customer as being made in God’s image – worthy of dignity and respect.”
Herman Miller. The Michigan-based furniture manufacturer’s founders were steeped in the Reformed Protestant tradition.

Lambert says the Walton family, which founded the company and still own a major stake in it, has used Christian servant leadership models in building the world’s largest retailer. And the company’s Arkansas roots helped sensitize it to the shopping habits of churchgoers. It helps explain why Walmart long carries the kind of Christian books that were once the exclusive province of Christian bookstores. “You don’t find those kinds of things in J.C. Penney,” Lambert says. But Walmart has been so successful with such material that it’s now become a business threat to Christian booksellers.

The fact is that we as consumers have the right to support or not support whomever we want & governments do not have the right to discriminate against individuals or businesses on the basis of religious or sexual viewpoints, but that‘s exactly what those cities’ mayors are trying to do.
I think the point sitonit was making is that our country (unlike Iran) gives liberals the right to voice any opinion they want & if they don‘t like it that conservatives have the same right they should move to Iran where they get imprisoned or beheaded for their viewpoints if they don’t line up with the Muslim theocracy’s. What those Mayors are trying to do to Christian companies is a non-bloody version of what Iran does to dissenters, force their views on the public & businesses by making them disappear or “behead” them.

According to online reports, it was changed in 2003, not 2009. And I beg to differ: definitions change over time. For example, the word gay has a different meaning now than 50 years ago. The word “nice” 500 years ago meant foolish or stupid.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 1:42pmTHIS is who “we” are (any other attempt at labeling is futile): People who are NOT GOING to sit still for “changing” the definition of marriage. The etymology of the word, the religious context of the word, the tradition handed down of the act of the word, do not support any kind of “change”. That the government co-opted the word in conforming to the religious definition in passing DOMA can be argued to be a violation of the First Amendment in the first place by passing a law which respected religion. Now that the push is on for the government to “change” what marriage is, the time has come for religions to assert their First Amendment right in that marriage redefined to mean something other than that which was co-opted in the first place is a “prohibition of the free exercise” thereof, and thus, unConstitutional. If the U.S. government changes what is marriage, then there WILL BE NO FREEDOM by religion to not comply — case in point, the Obamacare contraceptive brouhaha.
Before I get the homophobic label, let me show my libertarian side: If “equality” in your relationship is what you are truly arguing for, then an equal designation for any two, unrelated adults who wish to formally enter into a relationship is what is needed. I don’t CARE if the government calls my marriage a “civil union”; what I care is that which God Has Consecrated.
Any argument that is based on emotion/feeling by those supporting gay marriage need to look at the logic: M+W=

Posted on August 3, 2012 at 2:12amCertainly the dictionary definition of marriage has some bearing on the conversation, however, as others have pointed out, dictionary definitions aren’t necessarily static over time. I think what really needs to be altered is our attitude towards marriage. There are those out there who are defining marriage as a “right” and therefore whining about not having access to this “right ” as children being denied access to a piece of playground equipment. I have held for some time now that marriage is a RESPONSIBILITY, not a right. For many of us it also happens to be sacramental as well. Two people engaging in sexual intercourse which can result in offspring have the responsibility to form a stable, lasting relationship in which to raise these potential offspring. If they don’t want marriage, they shouldn’t be sexually active. Imagine how many problems in our society that alteration in thought would clear up. Those engaging in some form of sexual intercourse that can never result in children (infertile OS couples of any age could still be recipients of a miracle , so we’re talking SS ONLY ) would be absolved of this responsibility. Ergo, no need for same sex marriage.

I went to Chick-Fil-A yesterday in support of their organization, NOT because I disagree with gay marriage (I think they should have civil unions with all the same government benefits)…but because I disagree with the tactics the LGBT community uses to further their cause.

I never said they did. Although I believe some are considered hate groups from SPLC. You may disagree with them, of course.
“Uganda resolution”
From what I read it’s that they opposed a Democrat-led resolution that asked Uganda to change its stance on sexuality, including the execution of homosexuals. If your link is correct, they asked for changes to the resolution, rather than its outright opposition. If they did not, in fact, oppose the resolution then the point is wrong, and I thank you for the information.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 11:12amAre we living out a new book of Acts? Will the Christians of today be like the Christian church almost 2 thousand years ago coming together and supporting your brothers and sisters , sharing the gospel with an unbelieving world? Yes we can and yes we are. Keep pushing ahead never looking back, God will forgive our mistakes and give the strength needed to carry on his work. Prophecy of the last days is staring us in the face, our friends, family and community need us to live by the standard that God put together so long ago in his word. Living a Christian life is not easy but then again life is short and eternity is forever. If we cannot live for Christ today and everyday how can we say we love him and want to share eternity with him. Show love when your enemies hate you, pray for those who disagree with you. Be a friend to those in need and pray Gods blessing upon his people.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 1:40pm@ CARLINPA and ONESHINER : Back during the “Clinton years”, Arkansas Gov. and President, Tyson was a giant supporter of Bill Clinton’s Campaigns. During that time there were many strange things happening to outspoken non-supporters, former supporters and lots of money raising / donation questions. { Check out Mena, Arkansas } I know for a fact that Christ can change a life or a company, etc. I hope Tyson is not riding the “Christian Wave”.

Posted on August 2, 2012 at 10:58amGood list. However, Tyson Chicken is a dangerous company for America. While their CEO may claim a Christian faith, it does not translate into the way the company does business. Tyson has been partnering with the hard left ELCA/Lutheran Social Services to import third world residents into the central time zone to staff their meat processing plants. Many are Muslim, and recently Tyson dropped labor day as a holiday in favor of the Islamic Eid:
