Are You Over Your Head With Credit Card Debt?

You can get help…

Scripture

1 Corinthians 7

²³ God paid a high price for you, so don’t be enslaved by the world.

1 John 2:16

The Message (MSG)

 ^15-17 Don't love the world's ways. Don't love the world's goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity. 

1 John 5:4-5 (MSG)

^4-5 Every God-begotten person conquers the world's ways. The conquering power that brings the world to its knees is our faith. The person who wins out over the world's ways is simply the one who believes Jesus is the Son of God.

Observation

It is so easy to get wrapped up in this world and all of its trappings. It would be nice if once you surrendered your life to Christ that the world would lose all of its attractiveness but that doesn’t happen. 

There must be a marked difference how we as Christians few worldly goods from those who don’t know Christ. 

Television, radio, newspapers, magazines, internet, bill boards, are all wanting to catch our attention and lure us into buying the newest and the best product out on the market. Car advertisements are some of the most appealing and sell a lot of Christians on the idea that they deserve that new car! It is all crazy!

The world “entices” us to buy into its ways, just like I entice a fish with a shiny lure or some delicious live bait. The hook is visible but the offer is just to good to say “no”. 

Maybe you have been enticed by this world and you have run up a huge amount of debt that is really hurting your family. Let me encourage you to sign up for the next Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University course when it is offered. 

Get free – you don’t have to be a slave to this world any longer!

Application

I will resist the temptation to buy every time I see those great deals on the Internet and in the flyers that come to my house.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, keep me from being enslaved by this world. I know that I was bought with a high price. I am very valuable to You. Help me to keep myself focused on You and help me to keep my eyes off of the things of this world. You are the Mighty King. Nothing is too hard for You.
