As a nation, we are borrowing again, incurring more debt.
Normally, I have said something and written an article about debt, cash and money in November or December, but these months have suddenly passed by and you may be reading this and still continue to pay off the debts you incurred a few months ago. That’s not a fun situation to be in!
The United States of America is facing massive debt, and the United Kingdom is finding it extremely difficult to resolve this crucial, critical and crippling problem.
Personal debt also seems to be on the rise and that has its own catastrophic consequences, with stress, tension and battles.
In the perilous season of December, don’t go into personal debt, and if you’re already in debt, don’t incur more debt. No matter what month it is, do everything you can to avoid going into serious debt.
Debt causes arguments, anguish, problems and fear.
A very simple way to avoid debt is to say clearly and specifically, “I’m not buying that. We’re not buying that. We can’t afford it.”
Resist the urge to buy items that you know are out of your reach.
This can be a difficult decision, which is rarely easy, but it will be a wise decision.
Some ‘December debts’ can take months to pay off, becoming a painful, worrying and heavy burden. The debts of March and April are not easier or as disturbing or annoying.
Almighty God forgives sin and Jesus Christ came to forgive sin and sins and that includes the area of debt and owing money.
Owing money can make people feel physically ill. I have seen it.
It is possible to be debt free and one can be debt free, but that might take some time.
God has something relevant and practical to say about debt. “Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt of loving one another.”
He refused to go into financial debt. Keep your weight. It has nothing to do with emotion, but with a cold and lucid decision that an individual makes.
If you enter into a contract, that’s fine, but keep up with your payments and never take on more than you can safely pay.
Finding out what God teaches about debt could save you from months of discomfort, anxiety, and heartache.
God speaks to us about this matter in the context of our behavior and relationships with those around us.
Attitude is important.
Pay your titles and offerings to God, your taxes to the state and what you owe to your neighbor, no matter who your neighbor is.
This was first written for people who were disciples of Jesus Christ, but it is essential in 2017 and very practical.
Godliness with contentment is great gain.
These truths could keep you from racking up unnecessary bills.
So few people are really willing to accept sin for what sin is and going into debt is sin. Being in massive debt is certainly not God’s Will and it is not part of God’s plan and purpose.
That’s how serious this whole thing is. If you have any questions regarding this crucial and critical matter, please contact me through the excellent facilities offered by this website. If I can answer your question, I will, and if I can’t, I’ll do my best to be open and honest and say so.
This crippling problem no longer has to be a crippling problem.
Help is available if you want real help, and this applies to both national debt and personal debt.
