Paying it Forward: Jumping over the Debt/Death Trap

Sermon Text: Romans 13: 8 owe no man anything

5 Reason debt is a problem

1.   It promotes discontent…dissatisfaction Phil 4:12

2.   Makes arrogant assumptions about the future Matt 6: 25

3.   Requires you to transfer your future to your creditors Min wage is $8.25*40 hrs = $660 per pay check ($15,800 per year)

If someone is $10,000 in debt, the min payment is about 1%, which is $100 per month. It will take someone 8.3 years to pay it off. This doesn't include interest charges and late fees.

4.   Limits and eliminates your options Nehemiah 5: 1 - 6

5.   Steals your freedom and makes you a slave Proverbs 22: 7
