Modern slavery
« on: August 17, 2019, 10:46:05 AM »

There are now more slaves than ever before. You may ask, "But, Pastor O'Ffill, what are you talking about?"

Debt is slavery. We are only free to the extent that we are not in debt. The Bible is clear. "The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is a servant to the lender." Proverbs 22:7. The philosophy of "buy now and pay later" has taken away freedom for millions.

Perhaps behind the enormous credit card debt is greed and covetousness. "I must have what everybody else has, and I must have it now."

To paraphrase Matthew 16:26: "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and be a slave to the credit card companies or the person to whom he owes money?"

One is not only a slave to their debt but to all the "things" one buys.
