Do all you can to avoid borrowing money. I’m aware that borrowing is required for major purchases: but I’m warning about money between friends. People co-sign for purchases that they really cannot take responsibility for should the primary default. Friends loan money and their buddies say, they will repay once “I get my income tax.” With the passing of time, some borrowers seem to think a loan somehow, turns into a gift. Some borrowers claim harassment when the lender is simply trying to get back his due money. Fighting, cursing, threatening, false actuations with all other kinds of bad behavior develops and everything becomes a train wreck in court. So be careful about lending and borrowing. Friends need to remain friends. They shouldn’t feel that they don’t have to pay back lenders they know or be slothful in doing so. When borrowing or lending; get a written contract, (nothing personal, it’s just business) and don’t get involve at all if you cannot afford the possible loss. Luke 16:5-8. 1 Corinthians 6:7. Proverbs 6:1-5.

We heard Mayoral candidates talk about plans to end the murder rate. I’ve got news for them.
The murder rate isn’t confined to this city; it is everywhere. Sin is the reason people kill. That’s right, I said sin! Now most people don’t want to hear about the Bible, Church, and God. They think there is a way to end these problems without the word of God. That isn’t true. Men needs direction from God and no politicians plan will out do that. Jer 17:5-8. Jer 10:23. Murder exists because of men and it will cease when each person quits sinning. Robbers, drug dealers, violent persons, hookers, must repent and stop the evil. The Lord has commanded everyone to repent now. Acts 17:30. Acts 2:38. Luke 13:3. Matt 3:7-8. Jonah 3:4-10. Cities are in dangerous situations because men aren’t obeying the Lord. Be assured that if we live like we want and act like we want, there will be trouble. Isa 48:22. Judges 21:25. Just what does a person get out of marriage according to
the bible? Love. Eph 5.23-33. Col 3:19. Tit 2:3-5. Sexual fulfillment. 1 Cor 7:2-5. Heb 13:4. Children. 1 Tim 5:14. 1 Cor 7:14. Eph 6:1-4 Life enrichments like new friends, extended family, more money to share if both work, self improvement as both learn to live with and do things to build each other up. etc. Beware of marrying for the wrong reasons like; sex, money and other earthly stuff, citizenship, etc. A lot of people place confidence in polls. But let’s be clear what a poll is. Polls are the thoughts
of people and not a standard of what is right or wrong. People can think something about a matter, but that doesn't mean it's right. Pro 12:15. Pro 14:12. Isa 55:8-9. Even when the majority rules, that still doesn't constitute right, for if it did, most people would go to heaven. Matt 7:13-14. Consider past polls that were taken in the bible. Most people thought Noah was a nut for building the Ark. 1 Pt 3:20. Most people thought that Jesus deserved death. Matt 27:15-26. The homosexual rapists in Sodom and Gomorrah all agreed that Lot was wrong for not allowing them to molest the two men who were staying at his house. Gen 19:4-14. The people in Egypt under the influence of Pharaoh, all agreed that the Israelites were to be slaves. Ex 1:8-14. Ex 5:20. The polls among the Jews was all Samaritans were worthless people. John 4:9. The conclusions of all the above polls were the people being wrong on every account. Remember polls are the thoughts of people and not Divine authority. |
