Unfortunately, the world’s system has been set up to keep individuals enslaved to debt, not giving financial relief.
The World’s Pledge of Allegiance
I pledge allegiance to the card of the United States of credit, one nation under debt with bankruptcies, late fees and high interest for all.
The objective is to become debt free, raise money and establish a divine connection in helping others through to become debt free themselves. Now that you are set free from debt, you can start fresh, by owing no man anything, but to love him. The ultimate goal is for every congregational member to become debt free and create the ability for others in your communities through outreach.
A Burden Is Lifted
We believe that within years, all church members can have all their debts paid off or heading in the direction of total debt freedom. We have the ability and God given power to see it manifest. Working together is much better than working alone.
By doing this, you could quadruple your giving without a negative impact if they would pay off debt.
Something has to be done. Families are suffering from indebtedness, and so are America’s churches.
The Bible instructs Christians to tithe, or give the first 10 percent of their income to the church. Only one-third to one-half of church members gives any financial support, according to a report from The Christian and Missionary Alliance.
Credit card debt is partly to blame, and is something in which the church can help.
Spending more, giving less
Americans had racked up $1.65 trillion in debt by the end of 2001, up nearly 5 percent, according to U.S. government reports. Personal bankruptcy filings jumped 19 percent, according to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
People are having trouble paying the bills, let alone feeling free enough to give to the church.
"Credit card debt is a particular problem for today’s society. When people owe so much, it’s hard for them to give.
Overall charitable giving slipped 2.3 percent when adjusted for inflation, according to Giving USA. It was the first time in seven years that contributions have dropped.
A downturn in the economy is partially to blame. Research shows Americans spend 102 to 112 percent of what we make. We are committed to help you pay off that debt, which is the right thing, but too many Christians take the attitude that ‘God can wait.’"
The Church is prepared to take action
Very few churches have taken radical steps in holding a debt free living class. Increasingly, church leaders are encouraging their congregations to take advantage of a course in small-group settings to become debt free.
"It’s not just about what’s good for the church. No one enjoys being in debt, and churches are committed to helping people overcome such barriers. Of course, the more contributions a church receives, the more opportunities it can afford to reach new people.
Understanding the situation
Church leaders or members might not realize how dire the situation is. Let me help you out.
