"Take heed and beware of covetousness,for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses."
(the words of Jesus from St.Luke 12:15).
Covetousness, which could also be called extreme desire or greed, is epidemic in this country today,even among Christians.One proof of this is seen in the fact that personal bankruptcies have doubled in the last decade and are increasing.People sacrifice family and their faith by living above their means in an attempt to live the "American dream",aka,having lots of "things".Doing this is destructive,and much worse,a blatant violation of Our Lord's commands.
