Should a Christian incur indebtedness?...

As far as possible the Christian should avoid bringing himself under bondage, placing himself under financial or other type of obligation. It is difficult to keep ourselves free of debt, in some nations, but it is desirable to do so.

We do not say that a believer should never borrow money from a lending institution. Sometimes it is impossible to buy a car or house without borrowing money, and both may be necessary according to our particular situation.

However, as we pray the Lord Jesus will help us become the head and not the tail, meaning we will be in a position to give rather than having to borrow from others.
