As Christians there are many fine lines we walk. Justice and mercy, judgment and tolerance, gentleness and righteous anger...just read the life of Jesus and you see all of these things played out.

There is a time for letting people reap the consequences of their actions and there is a time for this kind of jubilee. Sounds like this congregation is doing it right.

You put it quite well. And I agree that there are times in which I would help someone with credit card debt. It would depend on the person (or family) and the circumstances. However, I do not believe that just paying off everyone's credit card debts as a policy without looking at each particular set of circumstances and putting in a plan of action that would continue to call the recipients to accountability, at least for a while, is necessarily a good thing. It could be a plan of enablement without truly helping the people at financial risk.
