Covetousness - The Sin You Commit Against Yourself - a podcast by Craig Scott

Subscribe to this Channel ? Acts 20:32-35 at the time this teaching of Jesus took conventional wisdom and turned it upside down. Today, after 2,000 years of hearing this idea promoted by various churches it doesn't sound as revolutionary as it once did.      Our society may be familiar with the idea but that does not mean we actually live by it or practice it. For most part we still measure a person by how much were they able to sock away in the bank or how much authority, or social status they achieve. What they were able to get, or what flowed into their life.To say giving is better than getting indicates the more important measure of a person is what flows out from them to others, Luke 12:15. Covetousness is about focusing on what flows in rather than what flows out.But why give a commandment telling us not to covet stuff. How does me wishing I had my neighbors big fancy house harm anyone? If I were to murder my neighbor and take over his house I can see the harm  done. But we have commands covering murder and theft already... why prohibit coveting? Answer: the one harmed by coveting is You... the one thinking the thoughts... even if you never act on them. And this is how I intend to approach the subject today: covetousness is a sin against yourself. Request our free bible study booklet: The Ten Commandments. Its a great way to walk through the bilical references to these important directives from our Creator.Keep Reading »
