Debt - There is no good or bad debt, it is either wise or unwise.
Without character or conviction, anything can become your Lord.

Romans 13:8 (no outstanding debt)
Job 24:9 (seized for debt)

You never know when tragedy will hit. A deep conviction on debt changes everything.

1 Samuel 22:2 debt = in distress; discontented
Matthew 18:25; 30 unmerciful servant
Genesis 14:17 Abram had a conviction about not taking a gift = no
strings attached

God blesses heart changes! Get a lot of advice.
Goal = pick up, go anywhere, do anything
