       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. Paul told Timothy that in these last days that people would be without self-control (see 2 Timothy 3:1, 2, ESV). So, though many around us don’t have it, we should. I would also like to mention that God wants us to obviously be exercising self-control in regard to our own personal purity in our lives. Again, we are not to live like the people of this world, just doing whatever we ‘feel’ we want to do in regard to our sexuality.
