debt? One offer after another winds up in your ‘inbox’ or your mailbox.

Each invites you to buy now and pay later. Of course, you have years

to pay without any interest, so how could you not take advantage of this

moment? Besides, you REALLY want what they are selling. It’s very easy

to understand how so many of us find ourselves deeply in debt. But

Jesus uses this concept to discuss discipleship. If we want to follow

Him, we need to be willing and able to pay the price. While this wisdom

could certainly help us make better purchasing decisions, it is central

to Jesus’ call to follow Him.
