The Tipping Point Looms for America

When we pass the 50 cent mark can we can expect a downward spiral we may not be able to recover from?

With the AP article US to borrow 46 cents for every dollar spent we see the USA at the tipping point of borrowing more than we can take in. How many of us dealing with old debts know the pain of trying to pay off bills we pay interest on? We know the cost and most of us dearly regret it.

If the US goes over the 50 cent mark can we expect disaster without such a remedy that it nearly kills us all to recover our economy?

Interesting

I recently saw the real cost of indebtedness when I was offered a settlement for an old family debt of 3,000 dollars. The representative for this company we owed money to made two offers and the difference of the cost of interest over paying principle was truly schocking.

On the 3,000 dollars we could pay $50 a month for 18 months.

Or…

We could pay 72 dollars a onth for SIXTY months with a 7 percent interest!!! YIKES!

Can you guess which one I took? Are you “paying” attention? – Sorry, I had to…

Now I’m no math wiz, as my being in ANY debt painfully proves (Forgive me Father for allowing this to happen), but that difference in the cost of interest was a REAL eye opener! Next time someone offers you a loan ask them what it would cost and how long it would take to pay that same debt off without interest; and get ready to swallow your gum at the answer…

The United States of America has been DUPED into indebtedness by foolish men and women… And our nation, our citizenry, will pay a VERY dear price for it for a long, long time.

I don’t subscribe to ‘enemies under every tree’ theories but this seems as close to a real conspiracy to deliberately bankrupt our nation as I have ever seen. We need to make our voices heard, every day, every week, every month, until this debt living our government is, our representatives are, addicted to stops.

And who is to blame?

We are. Sad to say, but we CHRISTIANS are. We are the leaders and we have failed. We must put our money where our mouth is and learn to live debt free, NOW. DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO and get out of debt!!! Work two jobs, trade in the new car you are paying interest on for an old used one that is mechanically sound. Stop the movie going and rent dvds. Stop blowing twenties when you can spend fives.

And then stop listening to these foolish men who tout lies about paying their ministry “in the name of God” to get you out of debt. They get rich off of your foolishness so cut them OFF. It’s NOT scriptural and plain nonsense, as any clear thinking person knows. Common sense, remember?

Only cutting off your flesh from debt living will heal the wound of debt living. DO THE SURGERY and get debt free, Christians. You will NEVER regret being out of debt but you surely will pay, and dearly, crying bitter tears, living a life paying interest. Let’s remember the adage that we are the slave of the one we owe money to. It’s what God says, after all.

Debt living is a fools’ game America bought into during the Industrial Revolution. And we would do well to be free of that lie, while we still can get free. It is a fools game that tells you to believe you should waste any moment, any gift of God – considering the conclusion of this life, of this land, of this Earth

Isaiah 26:21 For, behold, Yahweh comes forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.

Fear God and live – and do it debt free
