GREED
Wanting it all
Luke
12:15 (Message Bible)
(Jesus said,) "Take care! Protect yourself against the least
bit of greed. Life is not defined by what you have, even when you
have a lot."

2:5 (Message Bible)
We never used words to butter you up. No one knows that better than
you. And God knows we never used words as a smoke screen to take
advantage of you.

John 2:15-17 (New Living Translation)
Stop loving this evil world and all that it offers you, for when
you love the world, you show that you do not have the love of the
Father in you. [16] For the world offers only the lust for physical
pleasure, the lust for everything we see, and pride in our possessions.
These are not from the Father. They are from this evil world. [17]
And this world is fading away, along with everything it craves.
But if you do the will of God, you will live forever.
