Poison At The Core

Over 70% of us are living from week to week and on the edge of financial crisis and collapse. This statistic reveals that almost 3 out of 4 of us are on a slippery financial slope. A sickness, accident or storm may cause a serious disaster for our checkbook, charge card and family. The average family is carrying a huge amount of short term debt for cars, entertainment and everyday expenses. No wonder we fight, break out in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, feel depressed or see our dreams slipping away.

`THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone; (Matt 21:42)

The World knows very well how to appeal to us, sell us things we don’t actually need and how to convince us that debt is a solution. We naturally vibrate in harmony with the message of the world but God wants to give us grace for a different perspective and spirit. The World has rejected the cornerstone of life -- Christ, His Spirit and His Way. But, we are different and God is offering us grace to change and escape the trap.

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5)

Last night, at the “No Debt, No Sweat” financial seminar, we heard of the prevalence of financial struggles. We also heard the introduction to how to get out of short-term debt within a relatively short time. Steve Diggs was humorous, entertaining and informative. He encouraged us, if necessary, to drag our teenagers to the seminar. Even if you don’t need it, your children probably do. Tonight, Steve will also be covering information about how to invest for retirement and save for education expenses. Let’s not miss this opportunity for ourselves and our children to learn truths that could save us and them from tremendous emotional pain. Every nugget of wisdom is better than a nugget of gold. In contrast, we are surrounded by worldly principles that sound good but, at their core, they contain deadly poison.
