Biblical Financial Principles
Our Biblical Foundation
Since our founding in 1984, Bass Financial has been committed to providing financial advice based on Biblical principles. Our founder, Carl Bass, has always emphasized that we’re not just another Christian firm offering secular financial advice – we strive to provide counsel that’s firmly grounded in Biblical teachings.
Key Biblical Financial Principles We Apply
God's Ownership
We recognize that everything ultimately belongs to God (Psalm 24:11)
Faithful Stewardship
We help you manage your finances with integrity and wisdom, inspired by the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30)
Putting God First
We encourage prioritizing God in your finances, including through tithing (Malachi 3:10)
Contentment & Avoiding Greed
We emphasize finding satisfaction in God rather than material possessions (1 Timothy 6:6)
Generosity
We promote a spirit of giving, reflecting God’s love (1 Timothy 6:18)

In each of these areas, we apply Biblical wisdom to help you:
Spend less than you earn (Proverbs 13:11)
Be wise with debt (Proverbs 22:7)
Plan for financial margin (Proverbs 6:6-8)
Set long-term goals (Philippians 3:14)
Give generously (2 Corinthians 9:6-9)
What is the Difference Between Faith-Based Financial Planning and Faith-Based Investing?
Faith-based financial planning and faith-based investing address different aspects of your financial journey:
Faith-based Financial Planning
focuses on the overall management of your financial life. It guides you in aligning your spending, saving, debt management, giving, and long-term planning with Biblical teachings. It’s about being a faithful steward of all the resources God has entrusted to you.
Faith-based Investing
narrows the focus to your investment strategy, helping you choose investments that align with your faith and values. While we aim to reflect Biblical principles in every portfolio, we also recognize the complexities of today’s markets and emphasize being guided by faith rather than seeking perfection.
