Screening Guidelines
The Timothy Plan was established on the Biblical principles in Scripture. As founders and employees of Timothy Partners, Ltd., we believe in the infallible Word of God. If we believe in God’s Word, then we must believe in the things that God stands against as far as sins are concerned. First of all, we recognize that sin is sin and there are many. But there are sins today that stand out in our society, which we feel as investors and particularly Christian investors we need to stay away from.
Alcohol, Tobacco & Gambling.
It is not our intention to single out any one sin as greater, nor do we condemn people who may be involved in these practices. God told us to “love one another” but He also warned us about sins that could harm us. Therefore, we choose not to invest in those companies involved in the production of alcohol, tobacco or casino gambling. God told us that our bodies are His temple. We realize that many Christians smoke, drink and even gamble and feel that in moderation there is no sin. We are not their judges. We are simply not going to support companies with our Christian dollars that would support or promote the possible abuse caused by these substances. Our young people are greatly influenced by the promotion of these products and are not fully aware of the physical and emotional dangers behind them.
Pörnography.
Many people exercise their freedom of speech and expression through the production, display and purchase of pörnographic material. Yes, they have this right as Americans, but God has warned us in His Word about giving in to the temptations of the flesh. We also know that, statistically, pörnography has led to the destruction of children’s lives and the demise of the family unit. We do not want to be supportive of any company that would promote the production, sale or distribution of such material.
Abortion.
We do not support companies, which support abortion. The Bible clearly tells us “Do not commit murder.” Jesus said, “Let the children come to me.” They were precious in His sight and they must be in ours. God’s scripture tells us that, while we were not yet in our mother’s womb, He knew us. That makes us know that we were real human beings before we even existed. Therefore, we believe in the sanctity of life and want to do our best to preserve those lives.
Non-traditional married lifestyles.
We do not invest in any company that deals with the promotion of homosexuality. The Bible is very clear about sexual immorality and homosexuality just as it is about refraining from sex before marriage and adultery. Does this mean that, because we will not invest in companies, which support these things, we hate those who choose this lifestyle or are involved in these practices? Nothing can be further from the truth. When Jesus came to this earth, He came to those who needed Him. All of these sins existed when He was here and He dealt with all of them. He guided, but He loved at the same time.
Just as there are those with different ideas and philosophies and have every right to exercise them, as God’s children, so do we. We have a right to believe in the wonderful Word of God. The Word of God has remained the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Although we are a company that stands on what we believe as individuals, what we think is not important. What God thinks is all-important. For those who read His Word, you know His heart. God is not what we try to make Him to be. God is. We at the Timothy Plan earnestly seek on a daily basis God’s Word and His guidance not only to invest morally, but to respond to the hurts and needs of others, just as Jesus did. If we do not show love to those who have different opinions, different lifestyles, different views, then we at the Timothy Plan would be guilty of a greater sin, judging one another.
