Dear Bob : A family in my church just split up over financial problems; and a good friend of mine and his wife did the same. Mike asked me what he should do?; his wife will support the children and he will be saddled with repayment of all debt. They took a consolidation loan out 2 years ago for 13K (bal on it down to 9K). But since they have run up 4 or 5K on additional credit cards. His income is 30K, hers is 15K= total income of 45K. They don't drive a new car, have a modest double wide payment of 365.00, and have no savings, no investments, and have not taken a family vacation in years. Honest to God; I just cannot see it ? I know they feel trapped and the amount of debt is by my estimation not staggering. They have two small children, and their church attendance is 'spotty'. The couple that goes to my church never miss a service, her mother left her at least 10 low quality rental units; he has a job as a delivery man on a soft drink truck, and he settled a lawsuit for damages to his eye that left him 30 K richer about 2 years ago. ( I know where that money went, they bought a 4 wheel drive vehicle ) So you ask yourself how can it happen ? It happens every day ? And so so tragically... I feel churches need to start financial freedom classes and start teaching people how to be better stewards of what God provides. The other big temptation to families I know of has been extra marital affairs; as to marriage breakups. It is smart to think that these two problems can hit anyone; and I personally feel it is worthy of daily prayer. In Christ..gregor
