Whilst roaming aroundFB today, I came across the U.S. Debt Clock link. On it are all sorts of nifty numbers, national debt, per person, number of people employed, number that pay taxes, etc. One of the scariest numbers is the personal debt number. It averages out to over $54,000 for every man, woman and child in this country! Add on to that the over $40,000 per citizen national debt and the $104,000 per person discrepancy between assets and liability and you can see that we are in a whole world of hurt financially.
Why do I bring this up? Because it is counter to God's word. We are told "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law." in Romans 13, where Paul is speaking of our obligation to the government. How are you doing with your debts? Are you thinking about cheating on your taxes? Remember, "No man can serve two masters . . ." Who are you serving?
