On being a slave

I am a slave.  I am a slave because I am a debtor.  The people I owe money are my slave masters.   I am working on changing this as fast as I can.  I can't wait to be free.  I am currently putting all my extra pennies toward my debt. (I am using the Dave Ramsey approach to debt relief.)

I am a pastor at heart, but I am in the wilderness right now and I plan to return to the Church as soon as I am debt free.  I need to be debt free because if I am concerned with drawing a salary I can no longer speak the true message of the gospel.  Because of debt I have held my tongue when church leaders were doing the wrong thing and hurting the Church rather than nurturing the Body. I regret biting my lip and not speaking truth, but no longer.  I love the Church too much to keep silent. I will break off the chains and live freely for the Lord.
