Dr H J Porter of Butler Georgia explains covetousness from Exodus twenty seventeen Luke twelve twenty one and Timothy six six ten. He defines covetousness as longing for what is out of reach or gained by dishonest means and contrasts legitimate desire for wealth with greed. The sermon cites biblical examples from Genesis to Gehazi and Naboth to illustrate consequences and urges spiritual balance through God’s love and practical admonitions.
