Credit Card and Payment Policies
We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express as forms of payment. Our merchant system provides a secure gateway which verifies with the issuing bank the “registered billing address” prior to approval of your payment. No personal information is stored on our servers. Each credit card company has established policies and procedures that we and you must adhere to. These include proof that you are in fact “the card holder” by means of reasonable identification.
By offering an ePayment payment option to our families and friends, we provide a convenient way to pay for merchandise, fees, services, and donations. However, we consider debt as something that must be handled Biblically. Below are three principles on debt taken from Crown Financial Ministries.
Principles on Debt
Principle 1: Debt isn’t the best way
When we “Diligently obey . . . the Lord [He] will open for you His good storehouse . . . to bless all the work of your hand; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow” (Deuteronomy 28:1, 12). Borrowing is never God’s best for His people.
Principle 2: Avoid surety
Surety is an obligation to pay without a guaranteed way to repay, such as cosigning a loan (see Proverbs 17:18). The only way to avoid surety is to collateralize a loan with property that covers the complete debt.
Principle 3: The borrower is absolutely obligated to repay
Annually, millions of borrowers add more debt than they can repay, then choose bankruptcy to postpone or avoid repayment. Some voluntary bankruptcy may be acceptable – but only to protect the creditors, never to avoid payment. God doesn’t allow exceptions to keeping vows. “It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay” (Ecclesiastes 5:5).
