Life is not measured by how much one owns.
Luke 12:15
Jesus had a definition for greed. He called it the practice of measuring life by possessions.
Greed equates a person’s worth with a person’s purse.
- You got a lot = you are a lot.
- You got a little = you are little.
The consequence of such a philosophy is predictable. If you are the sum of what you own, then by all means own it all. No price is too high. No payment is too much.…
Greed is not defined by what something costs; it is measured by what it costs you.
If anything costs you your faith or your family, the price is too high.
