       For folks who feel they cannot handle a credit card, they should not have one. A lack of self-control and wise decision-making can lead to pain and unnecessary burden down the road. You don’t have to have a large house just because all your friends do. If renting is better for you due to your financial situation, you should rent. You don’t have to have a new car just because a lot of other people buy new cars. We should not keep our spending at a proper level with what we can afford. Personally, I only charge things on my credit card that I know I will be able to pay off when the statement comes. We should not racking up credit card debt, as Christians. Remember, we are supposed to examples to those around us, both saved and unsaved, in regard to self-control and our finances. If we are setting a bad example by spending too much, we are making Jesus look bad and hurting our witness. Even unbelievers may see us doing things that aren’t good, and they will think we are no different than them or anybody else.
