Three Great Foes: First, the World (5) (Following Jesus Christ Rightly #17e)

One of the most difficult aspects of the fallen “world” with which we all struggle is the place that things of this world have in our hearts. We are prone to covetousness. We desire to have that which we do not have. We refuse to be contented because we do not have what we want. We want more of what we do not have, whether we can afford it or not. The Word of God declares to us that covetousness is sin. To fail to be content with what God has given us is sin. It is a sin that falls under this broad category of worldliness. We address the sin of covetousness today, as an aspect of worldliness, the enemy of our souls.
