Your Question:
How do I pay for medical bills when I'm already in debt?
Answer:
I understand the struggle of dealing with medical bills and debt. As a pastor, I've seen many people in our congregation face this very issue. When you're already in debt, it can feel overwhelming to add medical bills to the mix. But, I want to encourage you to take a step back and look at your financial situation as a contract, rather than just a debt. When you buy something on credit terms, it's not necessarily a debt, but a contract that needs to be honored. However, when the terms of that contract are violated, that's when scriptural debt occurs. So, if you owe money for medical bills or other goods and services, it's essential to get out of debt as soon as possible. This means creating a plan to pay off your debts, starting with the ones that have the highest interest rates or the most urgent needs, such as medical bills. As a Christian, I believe it's essential to prioritize your spending habits and make sacrifices if necessary to get out of debt. This might mean cutting back on non-essential expenses, creating a budget, and seeking help from a financial advisor or credit counselor. Remember, getting out of debt is not just about paying off bills, but also about living a life that honors God and prioritizes your family's well-being.
