Debt

Here’s how to teach your kids about taxes.  Eat 30% of their ice cream.

Then teach them about the national debt and eat most of what’s left.

Speaking of debt, does the Bible address the subject? Glad you asked.

Galatians 5:3

And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.

I say, “Good luck with keeping the law.”

Romans 8:12-13

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 

A hymn says it this way:

I had a debt I could not pay,
He paid the debt He did not owe,
I needed someone,
To wash my sins away.
And now I sing a brand-new song,
“Amazing grace” all day long,
Christ Jesus paid the debt,
That I could never pay.

Give it some thought.
