greed

Man, Psalms 10:2-7 hits hard in today's society. Today I am trying something new here, by explaining the verse in a tabular format with today's date, verse, explanation and life anecdotes/applications. So, let us approach the table together, and chew on this verse. Alright, I'll stop with the...

Hello folks. Space is one of my favorite subjects, and I hope that in the future, humans can return to the Moon or eventually take a round-trip to Mars, after solving societal issues on Earth first. One such societal issue has not been solved: Corporate negligence. There has been recent news...

Your treasure your pleasures, Indulgent enjoyment, You follow whoever, And praise the flamboyant. The colors and baskets, The eggs all a plenty, The project, you task it, The purpose is empty. The bunnies with ribbons, The trinkets on tables, By greed you’ve been bitten, You then tell your...

I am single, and have always been so. I am also unemployed, and have been for some time; extreme depression from loneliness makes it difficult for me to find motivation to live, let alone work. To have somebody in my life to love me would certainly motivate me, as in the past the prospect of a...

The Hardness of Hearts Ephesians 4:17-19 ESV “Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their...

Ephesians 4:17-19 ESV “Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. They...

Have you ever ran across this scripture before? Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? From the start of the chapter it talks about how there is no condemnation for people who are believers. That the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ...

Hi all. I'm sure there have already been a lot of comments about this topic in general on a multitude of other social media platforms so I'd like to see how people respond here. The video I've posted suggests that, for the most part, the real issue is greed. A lot of professing Christians...

A lot of it is worry about what could go wrong, if not this month maybe the next... All to ensure the very rich get more money

What do we actually want? What do we need? As Mahatma Gandhi said: 'The World has enough for everyone's need, but not everyone's greed.' GREED There are rich and powerful people, who basically own the government and are in the process right now of taking the last of the country's wealth and...

As I understand it the Free Market is (was) an efficient mechanism for running the economy. It needed some add-ons to avoid some of the population starving or freezing, but for most people in the US and many other countries it worked very well. The idea is each person by pursuing their own...

The Tenth Commandment against covetousness is mentioned in Ex 20:17; Rom 7:7; Rom 13:9; etc. But what is "covetousness." In the LXX & NT the verb translated "covet" is "epithymeo." The noun "covetousness" is "epithymia." Basically, "covetousness" is to have a strong desire and thus occasionally...

First off I'm unsure where to begin so this is probably going to be some kind of ramble. I've done the worst possible thing ever.. I knowingly backslid into addiction and sin. The worst thing was I was sure God had forgiven me for the last two years where I had committed the same sin. I was...

Given the actual threat of a socialist government in the UK that is truly Marxist in its instincts and a growing resentment across Western society to rich people I thought I should ask the question. Given the level of entrenched inequality in Western society, the decreasing levels of social...

I found a video concerning Robert Morris of Gateway Church that's disturbing, he's a prosperity preacher and I have proof. Thoughts and comments?

Saturday, May 13, 2017, 8:08 p.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Oh, To Be Like Thee.” I read Hebrews 13:1-6 (ESV). Think of Others (vv. 1-3) Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember those...

Meeting Jesus. Inability to change forces me to look Jesus in the eye. The blushing shame from my own nakedness creeps. Lucky I know the accuser is merely the father of the lie. Well now a harvest this fallen angel reaps. Come see the weeds inside my heart to be burnt! "Can you remember times...

(Please move if this is in the wrong forum) How do you deal with the bitter Christian; one who you believe does indeed love the Lord with all their heart, but has such a profound and visible bitter streak? In this particular case, the Christian referring to is seeking donations (made directly...
