Bible Correspondence Course Lesson 7
When you stop to think about it, never in the history of the
world were any nations so SEEMINGLY rich as are the
English-speaking and the western European nations today. Our
people possess more developed resources and national wealth than
any people EVER had before. Yet these very nations OWE public and
private debts so HUGE that the next ten generations will not be
able to pay them off!
America alone owes over 1.1 trillion dollars in public and
private debt! That means that every individual averages a public
and private debt of over $6,000. THAT IS ABOUT A $24,000 DEBT FOR
A FAMILY OF FOUR! This debt has been piled up because of
preparation for war. WAR IS A CURSE!
Something must be WRONG! We have lost all sense of the value
of money. And no wonder. What most people simply don’t know,
today, about their financial problems is that the ETERNAL CREATOR
set definite LAWS in motion — invisible, yet inexorable laws,
which regulate personal economic conditions. A KNOWLEDGE of these
LAWS would teach us to recognize the right value of money –
would give us joy and happiness by keeping us from LIFE-LONG
FINANCIAL SLAVERY.
A recent poll of thousands of Americans revealed that not
more than 3% of the people ever heard about these divinely
established FINANCIAL LAWS. And not even 1% of the people follow
these laws that regulate our prosperity!
