Accumulated Debt | Institute of Love

Much of the enormous credit card debt that many Christians have accumulated is the direct result of sowing hundreds and thousands of dollars to prosperity preachers who gave them empty and false promises of becoming extremely rich. These Christians, who are longing to be rich, are the ones the Bible speaks about that fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. It is no wonder that is says that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil and some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. (See 1. Timothy 6:9-10 ) We have been warned that this would happen especially in the last days, that, “people will love only themselves and their money.” 2. Timothy 3:2 NLT But, “God blesses the one who reads the words of this prophecy to the church, and he blesses all who listen to its message and obey what it says, for the time is near.” Revelation 1:3 NLT
