Greed
January 30, 2019
I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY,-and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money
M The Bible talks about money more than any other topic except love. Important for sure. Budgeting, accountability, generosity. An important impact on our finances is the character trait of greed.
V Luke 12:15 “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions,’ Greed morphs our thoughts on money to how to get it, regardless of laws, fairness, or violating the golden rule Matthew 7:12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.
M An antidote for greed is to connect with others less fortunate. See them, walk beside them, share their experience. That brings tenderness and compassion, and crowds out greed.
