| 0:14.2 | There are few things in all the world that will put more pressure on your marriage than debt. There are so many pressures that |
| 0:24.7 | come with owing other people money. So what do you do? How do you get peace when you're |
| 0:31.1 | overwhelmed with debt? That's today. Stay with me. Welcome to Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram. |
| 0:38.3 | I'm Dave Drouy, and today we're concluding our series Choosing Love with a message that gets intensely |
| 0:44.3 | practical. |
| 0:45.3 | Last time Chip taught us that God owns it all, we're just stewards. |
| 0:50.3 | Today, he shows how to actually live that out. |
| 0:52.3 | You'll discover why money problems are rarely about needing more income. |

| 1:38.2 | in the bank account, whatever kind of car I've, whatever I have, it's yours, and I'm going to |
| 1:42.4 | give an account for it. Money is powerful and deceptive. And the subtlety and deception of money is it takes you down a path. It's like being in water where you go out, if you've ever been at the peach, you know, and you're having fun, and you know, you've got the sand, and if you have a family, you've got a couple kids here, and you've got the blankets, and you're going to have lunch and stuff, and they go out and play, and you know you got the sand and if you have a family got a couple kids here and you got the blankets and you're going to have lunch and stuff and they go out and play and you're playing |
