Christians on the Car Lot
3 likes429 views
1) The document discusses how Christians can obtain a quality vehicle without going into debt, which the Bible warns against. It argues that leasing a vehicle is preferable to taking out a loan since leasing does not constitute debt under Biblical definitions. 2) The author, a car salesman, struggled with this issue for five years but found that leasing allows Christians to drive a nice car while obeying God's commands to avoid debt and care for their family. 3) By paying in advance for the right to use a vehicle for a period of time, leasing mimics renting a house and does not put one into debt like purchasing a vehicle on credit would.

Christians on the Car Lot
- 1. Christians on the Car Lot How to Drive a Quality Car, Take Care of Your Family, And, Most Importantly, Live In Our Lords Will by Avoiding Debt By William Bruce Mouncey, 息2016
- 2. We have a mandate from our Lord We are commanded to take care of our family 1 Timothy 5:8. Yet, we are also commanded to avoid going into debt, so as not to serve two masters Proverbs 22:7.
- 3. My two cents: When you borrow to obtain things, even if its something you need, its very hard to convince anyone that it was due to Gods provision. Everything we do as believers reflects on Gods credibility. Going into debt hurts your witness. You probably already knew this. Thats what makes my job of selling cars so hard.
- 4. Your struggle is MY struggle So how do you drive a quality car, WITHOUT going into debt? Your choices SEEM to be: 1) You can pay cash for a new car. Few can afford that. 2) You can buy a cheaper car for cash. OR, 3) you can go into debt to drive a quality car.
- 5. How to sell a car to believers? I struggled with this for five long years. The answer is, as always, in the Bible. 1) Paul hired a house for two years - Acts 28:30. 2) The Good Samaritan took his charge to an inn, and gave two pence, in advance, for his care - Luke 10:33-35 They didnt buy the house, or the hotel. They rented it. And they paid in advance.
- 6. Rent is not debt. Dont buy what you cannot afford. Rent it instead. Debt is receiving something first, and paying for it later. Rent is paying for something first, THEN receiving it.
- 7. Rent is not debt. God does not reckon rent as debt. Rent is not a sin. As long as you do not make your seller wait for payment, it is not debt: - Deuteronomy 24:15.
- 8. The answer is simple: Rent your car. In the car business, rent is called a lease. The difference between buying and leasing, is that instead of buying the whole car, a lease is buying the right to drive the car for a period of time, just like renting a house. Renting a house for a short period of time is cheaper than purchasing it, and the analogy holds true for leasing a car.
- 9. Is leasing cheaper than a loan? Believers often ask me about the terms of a lease, as if they can choose between a lease and a loan. For you and I, as believers, the answer is this: YES, BUT IT DOESNT MATTER. One is living in our Lords will for you, and one is not. I have done the comparison between buying on credit and leasing, see my first presentation, called You Cant AFFORD to Buy My Car!, found on YouTube and 際際滷Share.
- 10. You CAN obey God and have a quality car! Leasing allows you to drive a quality car for less than what it costs to purchase a new one. Leasing allows you to take good care of your family, for about what it would cost to buy a second-hand car. Leasing keeps you out of debt, and in Gods will, by paying in advance. Leasing is good for your witness.
- 11. Get free of debt NOW! Has anyone else ever told you this? Even any other Christians? Ive been a believer since 1984, and nobody ever told me this. Now its time for you to take action immediately, if you have vehicle debt. Trade it in, with me or with someone, and get a quality car in a way that keeps you in Gods will. Lease it. Wouldnt you like to feel the peace and joy that comes with knowing that youre living right? I know I have great peace and joy bring you this message.
