What does the Bible say about charging interest? Philip Doublestein is a pastor of Brooks Church and a missionary for Lutheran Intercity Network Coalition (LINC) San Antonio. Long ago, Christians discouraged charging interest on loans. Now, in modern times, the prevailing attitude and law allows interest so long as it isn't too high. The law in Texas even imposes a statutory penalty if someone charges interest that is too high.

The mission of Talk Law Radio is to help you discover your legal issue blind spots by listening to me talk about the law on the radio. The state bar of Texas is the state agency that governs attorney law licenses. The State Bar wants attorneys to inform the public about the law but does not want us to attempt to solve your individual legal problems upon the basis of general information. Instead, contact an attorney like Todd A. Marquardt at Marquardt Law Firm, P.C. to discuss your specific facts and circumstances of your unique situation.
