Live like no one else
Our family recently listened to Dave Ramsey's tapes on financial peace. What he says makes so much sense. Two verses of scripture he connected really resonated with me. Proverbs 22:7 says "The rich rule over the poor and the borrower is servant to the lender". Matthew 6:24 says, "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." In other words when you are in debt you have a master that is not God. How can you serve God in every way, when you are committed and obligated to serve something or someone else with your money. Dave's motto is that you have to "live like no one else, so later you can live like no one else." I would strongly encourage anyone to listen to or take his class. All it takes is a choice to be different.

Woohoo! As long as being different doesn't mean giving up the internet... :)

ReplyDeleteI love Dave Ramsey! My parents are taking his class at our church right now, but once they're done, they're passing it on to us. I've always agreed/been taught about living with no debt. It's definitely hard, since our society relies so much on credit cards. But that's when we choose to let God be our provider and not the lenders.
