Money Matters: Spending money God’s way
Do you tend to be a Scrooge--or a spendaholic? Here is another example of when it’s best to steer from the middle course in life. God gives no special honor to misers and skinflints, but there is also terrible danger in out-of-control spending.
Be intentional about the money flowing from you. Do you go shopping when you are feeling bad about yourself? Do you need new clothes to feel important? Do you just love spoiling yourself? Do you have trouble saying no to your urges? Do you just love to party? Are these hard words to hear: “He who loves pleasure will become poor” (Proverbs 21:17)?
Far too many people live in misery and fear because they have maxed out four credit cards and now can’t even make the minimum payments. They bought way too much house, their adjustable-rate mortgage just went up again, and foreclosure looms.
You know, of course, that there are groups like AA to help problem drinkers. Did you know that there is help for problem spenders?
