increase profitability or stick to their religious values, which might mean they make less money, they should seek guidance from the scripture. Proverbs 22:1 is the ideal verse for such a situation and dictates that having a good name is better than any riches a person can accumulate (Seet, 2018). Therefore, Christian retailers should try as much as possible to look beyond increasing their profits, which means they have to make choices that are in tune with the Lord’s dictates and teachings. They might lose money, but they will ultimately gain favor with the Lord.
