Chick-fil-A is not the only Company with Christian Beliefs

Chick-fil-A is not the only company that shares Christian beliefs. There are other companies that have very similar beliefs and intentionally include these beliefs into their packaging and messages. Some of the most recognizable company brands are Tyson Foods, Forever 21, Interstate Battery, In-N-Out Burger, and Hobby Lobby.

Chick-fil-A is not the only Company with Christian Beliefs
Tyson Foods does not hide its faith either. The company offers chaplain services for all of their employees across America. Employees regularly use these chaplains to pray with them when they saddened by the loss of a loved one or when coping with a family emergency. Tyson's current chairman, John H. Tyson, is a born again Christian that has many of the same beliefs as Chick-fil-A's Dan Cathy and believes that values should not be pushed aside when he enters Tyson's doors. Tyson said this in 2010;

"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, ... If people can talk about the football game on Monday, why can't they talk about their faith?"

Tyson is also know for donating very large amounts of food to America's poor and hungry.

Forever 21 was founded by devout Christians, Don and Jin Chang, whom migrated to America in 1981. Their company was originally started in Los Angeles and now have hundreds of locations all over the world. At the bottom of each bag, shoppers will find the popular John 3:16 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."

The chairman if Interstate Battery, Norm Miller, is another company leader that publicly discusses his faith in Jesus Christ. He goes to the extent to ask customers to give him prayer advice. His personal testimony on his web site says this,

"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,"

Miller actively encourages everyone to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior by repeating this prayer and accepting Jesus into your heart,

Chick-fil-A is not the only Company with Christian Beliefs
"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 him 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!"

Just like Forever 21, In-N-Out Burger, is a fast-food chain that is based in California and uses John 3:16 as a way to advertise its faith. The food chain places the verse on the bottom of its drinking cups.

Chick-fil-A is not the only Company with Christian Beliefs
Hobby Lobby is an Oklahoma City-based chain that has something very much in common with Chick-fil-A. It closes its more than 500 stores on Sundays and proudly mentions God on its website. Here are a few of the statements
listed in the company's state 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 blessing with our 
employees, and investing in our community.
We believe that 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.
It is reported the Hobby Lobby is preparing the build a Bible museum in Washington, D.C.,
just blocks away from the National Mall. It will contain thousands of Biblical artifacts and
its mission will be to help others have a better understanding of the Old and New 

Testaments.

I guess the liberal pro-gay groups should boycott these companies just like Chick-fil-A or 
is it their 1st amendment right to free-speech to believe in what they want?
