Excerpts:
Excerpt #1. "Travel light; 'owe no man' (Romans 13:8); hasten to leave your offering, your spiritual promises on the altar; go forth and work with diligence to pay off the debt carelessly made in time of blind motive.
God does not employ or engage you in the employ until your debt is free, and your giving is abundant.
There is no successful prospering without God's support. He who prospers with a clean conscience is God-prospered." (Ann Ree Colton)
Excerpt #2. "Nations, families, and individuals in debt have stopped listening to the great teachers; they have stopped listening to the sages and the saints. They have closed their ears to the wisdom of their founding fathers.
The Christ is not the Lord of debts; He is the Lord of grace. As the Lord of grace, He is the Lord of freedom from debts." (Jonathan Murro)
