Your Question:
Can I still get a loan?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with debt and financial obligations. From a biblical perspective, it's clear that taking advantage of someone's financial vulnerability is not right. In fact, the Bible encourages us to be generous and help those in need, rather than charging exorbitant interest rates or exploiting others for our own gain. When it comes to getting a loan, I would advise caution. While it's not inherently evil to charge interest, we should be mindful of not taking advantage of others. If you're considering putting up financial security for someone else, be aware that you may be putting yourself at risk. It's essential to carefully consider the terms and conditions of the loan, and to ensure that you're not putting yourself in a difficult financial situation. In my own life, I've learned the importance of being financially responsible and avoiding debt whenever possible. As a husband and father, I want to be a good steward of our family's resources and set a good example for our children, Joshua and Rebecca. While we may face financial challenges from time to time, I believe that with careful planning and a commitment to living within our means, we can avoid getting into trouble.
