Debt as a Trap and Burden
- Debt is described in the Bible as a trap that can't last and eventually catches up with you.
- It causes emotional burden, anxiety, insomnia, and leads to loss of freedom and enslavement to creditors.
Youth Credit Card Debt Example
- Pastor Rick shares about a friend whose daughter quickly accrued $20,000 in credit card debt at 18.
- She was unprepared and unaware of financial responsibility, exemplifying the dangers of impulsive credit use.
Debt Hidden in Credit Ads
- Credit card offers never mention the word 'debt' but instead use euphemisms like "easy payments."
- Debt involves many negative conditions like insolvency and embarrassment which people often ignore when signing up.
