Count the cost
July 11, 2017
It’s easy as Christ followers and the body of believers to get caught up in acceptable practices of our culture. In a word, accumulating debt. Credit cards are easy to get as are car loans extended over many years.
Churches borrow money for expansions, outreach ideas, and growing staff. Who benefits? The lender. 18 percent charges on credit cards, less on car loans, pe less on church loans. Still, think what ministry could happen if those dollars were in your pocket, your ministry account, not the banks.
Romans 13: 8 says let no debt remain outstanding. Luke 14:28“ you want to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?
Better than borrowing and accumulating debt is planning ahead.
