Mortgages, Foreclosures
January 25, 1985
In all the present talk of debts, mortgages, and foreclosures, little attention is given to relevant passages of Scripture.
One such passage is Proverbs 22:26,27:
“Do
not be a man who strikes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts;
if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under
you.”
If our current trials stimulate Christians to rediscover
such passages, we can look to a more secure future. There is little
hope for those who trust in human rulers and pray to them for temporary
deliverance.
