Greed

Greed, Enemies of the Heart #4


Greed is the assumption that what we have is for our consumption. Greed believes the lie that we owe it to ourselves to make sure we have the kind of lifestyle we want to have. Greed results in the refusal to bless others with the extra that God has given us, whether that in with money, time, skill, possessions or any other resource we have been blessed with. While as Christians we say and believe that God is the owner and we are stewards, greed moves us to live differently. Generosity is the antidote to greed in our hearts, freeing us to love God and others as our hearts have been made to do.
