The Credit Card of Sin

     A credit card can be a blessing or it can be a curse.  When people get a credit card they go and start to buy things.  They spend money and place it on the card racking their credit.  They bring the product home and it is very pleasurable.  They use it for a while and then after a while then that New Feeling wears away.  This usually happens way before the bill for the credit card comes in.  When the bill comes in they find that all that stuff they bought is very very expensive especially with the high interest rates, fees and so forth.  After a while many people just can't pay it anymore.  People go into debt and that which brought them joy for awhile is now threatening and harassing their lifestyle with creditors calling and demanding payments and threatening lawsuits.  The repo man comes and begins to take it all back.  Relationship are stressed and even in some cases broken. 
     There is a card like that which works spiritually.  People live their lives anyway they wish.  Drinking, Smoking, Fornicating, Adultery, Pornography, Jealousy, Anger, Wrath and so forth.  It seems pleasurable for a moment until the bill comes in.  Let me just say that the interest rates are very very high.  In some cases the interest rates includes a destroyed marriage, relationships broken and in some case death.  The Sin MASTERCARD is one Credit Card you do not want to use. 
     We had such a card at one time but Jesus Christ came and wiped away the debt and gave us a new start.  We thank God for his payment in full.  Now it is up to us to listen to His voice and make sure that every offer that comes to us to get a Credit Card is one we decline, even if it is pre-paid.  And believe me the offers will come!  By the way, when it comes to sin there is no such thing as a 0% intrest rate.  May Christ Keep You!
