1 | owning a house is debt?? | Matt 10:34 | msdudda21 | 111258 | ||
There is a person in my life that I have a difference of opinion with about debt and ways of life. I love photography and this person has brought up that I spend to much time with this hobby and if I truly love God why isn't all my time spent on God the same with tv. I drawl the line when something I am doing whether it be a hobby or tv starts to interfere with my walk with God. To him owning a house is debt if you owe on it. I think when the bible talks about debt it means living outside your means, out of your budget. Finally my question is what are some of your opinions and can you show me any verses that relate. Thank you:) |

2 | owning a house is debt?? | Matt 10:34 | Rowdy | 111259 | ||
I'm sure this is a tough question for all Americans to face. We claim to be a christian nation but we really aren't, not any more. There's just too many distractions for the average American like our jobs, or our hobbies or even our families. Our Lord made it very clear: If ANYTHING takes top priority over and above Him and His Father, then we're not fit for His kingdom. Christ used the word hate in making this statement but that's just a realtive term and the translators had difficulty with it. The bottom line is we must mature as God's children and grow spiritually to see that God MUST take first place in our hearts. It should be obvious to anyone that really knows us that we would choose Him above all else. Otherwise, He's not really worth dying for and spend eternity with Him in heaven. In Matt 10:34-39, the Lord describes a person who loves Him above all else, even his own blood family if it comes to that. And remember, Jesus also strongly endorsed the OT guidance about honoring one's mother and father. But in the grand scheme of God's world, He and His Son must come first. I hope this helps, study this for yourself and pray about it. God bless. |
