As the Bible tells us, the only debt God wants us to owe is love for others. When we meet a needy person, God wants us to be free to help, and if paying our debt takes every penny we earn, we won’t have the means to give. But changing the ways we use money brings the reward of being able to give generously, showing others God’s love. (Mary Baird, Texas, Deuteronomy 15:1-11, Romans 13:8)
