The Sin of Covetousness

The 10th Commandment states, “You shall not covet!”  Coveting can quickly turn a person’s normal desires to abnormal, improper lust leaving great collateral damage in its wake.  This prohibition against coveting may sit in last place among the commandments but it is extremely important that a Christian struggles to control desire.  It is best to address coveting when it tries to enter the mind.  You are invited to share this timely message on covetousness.
