Your Question:

Will I ever be debt-free?

Answer:

My friend, I've been in your shoes before, struggling with debt and wondering if I'd ever be free from it. As a pastor, I've studied the scriptures and learned that debt isn't always a bad thing, but when it becomes oppressive and prevents us from fulfilling our obligations, that's when it becomes a problem. According to the Bible, debt occurs when we owe money for goods or services, or when our spending habits prevent our family's needs from being met.

As a Christian, I've come to understand that debt is not just about money; it's about our relationship with God and with others. When we're in debt, we're not free to serve others or to follow God's call on our lives. But when we're debt-free, we're able to live with freedom and generosity, using our resources to bless others and to spread the gospel. That's what I've seen in my own life, and that's what I've seen in the lives of many others who have made a commitment to living debt-free.

So, will you ever be debt-free? I believe that with God's help and guidance, it's possible. It requires discipline, hard work, and a commitment to living within our means. But when we do, we'll experience the freedom and joy that comes from living without the burden of debt. As the Bible says, "Owe no one anything, except to love each other" (Romans 13:8). Let's make a commitment to love each other and to live out of love, rather than out of debt.
