WORDS TO THE WISE #6- Manage our Money

Thursday, January 29. 2009

6. We need to abhor and avoid personal debt and spend within our means. We must stop buying things that we can not afford or pay for. That is good Biblical wisdom. “There is no such thing as a free lunch” is more than an old platitude. Bills must be paid. If we claim to be Bible believing Christians, who get worked up about homosexuality and abortion on Biblical grounds, how can we fail to obey the Bible on this matter of money management? And how can we stomach and condone a Government that will not do the same? How can we give one man a blank check to our bank accounts “to bailout and save our economy”? It boggles my mind that people apparently believe the money they expect from the government is the government’s money. It is not. It is our tax money and we are accountable and responsible to God for how it is spent. We must not allow a government to take our money from us for programs we do not approve. When we do approve, we must hold government accountable for what actually happens to our money. We are being bullied and pressured and scared into handing over all we have to an ever bigger Government to do whatever it deems best. Multitudes are even glad for the opportunity to do that. They are fools! Christians should not be among them.
