-The Bible commands tithing, encourages saving, and discourages debt.
-Debt is not a SIN but it's risky because it can enslave you and WEIGH you down.
-8 of out 10 people in America live paycheck to paycheck.
-"Getting into debt is as easy as getting down an ice covered mountain. But getting out of debt is just as difficult as climbing back up that same mountain." -Ron Blue
THREE CHALLENGES TO THOSE WHO ARE DEBT-FREE:
1. Be HUMBLE.
2. Be a RESOURCE.
3. Be GENEROUS.
FOUR STEPS TO FREEDOM:
1. Choose to be GENEROUS.
2. Assess your SITUATION.
-Spend less money than you make.
3. Develop and implement a BUDGET.
-"A budget is simply telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went." -John Maxwell
-Debt is the result of giving to ourselves what God hasn't given to us yet.
-"If you postpone pleasure you postpone pain. If you pursue pleasure you are promised pain." -Barry Cameron
4. Attack all DEBTS and avoid NEW DEBTS.
- D - E - B - T = Don't Even Buy That! -Barry Cameron
-"We spend money on things we don't have on things we don't need to impress people we don't even like, mortgaging a future we won't be able to enjoy because of a past we'd like to forget." - Barry Cameron
TAKE AWAY: With God's help:
1. I am going to start tithing.
2. I will pay off all my debts (except for my home) by 11/25.
3. I will pay all all my debt by 11/25.
4. I will increase my generosity.
