    There are so many voices out there trying to get us to play the game of greed, but we are much better off if we listen to the voice of God calling us to be content with what we have.

    The Game of Greed I Kings 21:1-10 June 24, 2007 Now, this is my opinion. Feel free to agree or disagree. I really believe that network television programming is at an all time low for creativity.

    Jesus speaks against those whose greed causes them to exploit the land and the people to their advantage and for their profit. We are called to be stewards and manage the "vineyards" that we have been given. They are not ours, they are God's.

    Greed is listed as one of the worst of sins - right up there with lewdness, adultery, and murder. But how likely am "I" to be plagued by greed? And how can God cure me of this terrible sin?

    Back in the 1800’s there was once a 350# wrestler in Europe named “Yusuf, the terrible Turk.” Three hundred and fifty pounds is a fairly huge man, and there wasn’t an ounce of flab on the man. He was formidable. And in his four years in Europe, he was impossible to beat, ...read more

    Every Biblical character is a unique personality and has been written for us to learn something. We will be warned of Gehazi's downward pull due to the sin of GREED. We will learn lessons from the life of Elisha on how he maintained his INTEGRITY.

That means, a person who is greedy will covet something even if he does not really need it. He will hide it for some ...read more
