Slavery is alive and well today. An example is credit card debt. It is bad for us, the economy and the bank. The insanity is that banks charge disgustingly usurious interest rates to discourage this debt, but the credit drug is just too powerful. The worst kind of credit card slavery is the habit of carrying a very high balance from month to month. People who carry high credit card balances are a risk to themselves, their country and their lender. On the other hand, there are those who are masters of money and use credit cards wisely. They pay the balance in full every month, on time, every time. These people help themselves, their country and even their bank benefits because it carries low outstanding debt and still manages to make some income from interbank charges. Matthew 6:24 reminds us not to be slaves of money, but instead serve God.
