A pastor tells people blaming the devil for money problems while spending recklessly on restaurants, gadgets, and fancy cars. Real hardship exists, but most financial struggle comes from choices, not demons. Fix it with discipline and budgeting.
We're saying, oh, the devil's attacking my finances, yet you're going out to eat every day and putting it on the credit card. Oh, the devil's attacking my finances, but you're buying tech and devices and TVs and furniture. The devil's attacking my finances, but you got that extravagant car payment because you didn't want to be seen driving that lesser vehicle. Now, look, I understand, and let me balance this, that there are some who are struggling because of circumstances outside of their control. A health issue, an accident, loss of a job. Maybe your spouse left you and you're left to try to put the pieces together. There are things that happen that put you in that position. That's true. But I'm speaking of those instances where we're irresponsible while blaming the devil. But the struggle is going to remain unless you become a good steward.
