Good Word

The sermon never said that God or the Bible outlawed capitalism. It was instead trying to point toward what Paul said. In whatever state I find myself in I am content. Contentment then is the opposite of coveting. There is not need to keep up with the Jones'' if you are content with what you have. So it is not about capitalism but contentment.

Good Sermon, but I do not agree that for a person who wants a better house, TV, or whatever is coveting. That is how free capitalistic society works. Scripture is explicit. Coveting is desiring that which belongs to someone else. Having a God Given desire to want to better ourselves or to place our selves in a better position in life is a part of our God-given nature to be the best we can be. That desire to better ourselves is what drives us to go to work and save for items in life we desire. Our desire is only wrong when we want something rightfully owned by another. I do not believe Scripture is outlawing capitalism in this command.

This is a great sermon for the beginning of the year..
