PROGRAM SUCCESS – JANUARY 2010 PAGE 33 BREAK THE CHAINS O F FINANCIAL SLAVERY By Darlene Robinson, President/The Steeple HOME Team In the state of today’s economy, with millions losing their homes to foreclosure and their jobs due to down sizing, many people turn to prayer to relieve themselves of their stress and burdens of life. Most people don’t know that the bible contains almost 500 verses on prayer and a little less than 500 verses on faith, yet over 2,300 verses that address in very practical, specific ways how to earn, save, spend, invest and give money. Two-thirds of the parables deal with money. The Bible has more to say about money than heaven and hell combined, even more to say about money than salvation. The Bible has more to say about money than any other subject except love. So isn’t it time we take charge of our own finances and break the chains of financial slavery and eliminate our debt? Biblical financial principles that applied yesterday, also apply today, and they will apply tomorrow. These principles apply if you have a littl e or a lot of money, if you are single or married, if you are young or young-at-heart. Listed below are just a couple of the Bible verses that cover different financial advice. 1)Proverbs 22:7 “The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is slave of the lender.” next logical extension of services for the homeowners and the community is financial planning that leads to financial security. The Steeple H.O.M.E. Team consulted with many people who said they were overwhelmed by their personal debt situation. Or they wanted to get out of debt but didn’t know how to get started to make that first step to take charge of their financial destiny. In this economy, it’s more important than ever to take steps toward getting out of debt. A good credit score can impact the cost of homeowner and auto insurance. Whether you are approved to rent a house or apartment and in some cases, whether you get a job offer or even the type of job or license approval. 3)Romans 13:8 (NIV) Don’t run up debts, except for the huge debt of love you owe each other. The Steeple H.O.M.E. Team has partnered with a global financial company to guide people through resolving these issues and to create a personal plan to show them how to take charge of their finances. When you have a financial plan you can visualize your success, whether it’s getting out of credit card debt, paying off other bills/debt quickly, debt consolidation or paying off mortgages in one-half to one-third the time. One of The Steeple H.O.M.E. Team’s primary goals is to save homeowners from foreclosure by negotiating an affordable mortgage payment with their lender.
