Romans 13:8

1.) Borrowing is to do your banking withrepparttar 141512 devil.

2.) Every time you go in debt unnecessarily, you set yourself up for defeat by openingrepparttar 141513 door to financial bondage.

3.) Borrowing is to rob God ofrepparttar 141514 opportunity to bless you.

4.) Borrowing (beyond for house and auto), even for need reasons, is a lack of faith that God is capable of providing or a matter of doubting that He will. And, believing anything less than that God loves you enough to be there for you is to side with Satan in calling God a liar. Though, God is capable of providing houses and cars, too.

5.) Borrowing for non-need reasons is like saying that God's provision for you isn't good enough.
