The Covetous Heart and God’s Righteous Judgment
In this sermon fragment the author blasts covetousness as the root of all sin and misery. He argues money worship causes neglect of worship, family duties, and private devotion, linking greed to idolatry, extortion, perjury, corruption, pride, and oppression, and warns of divine punishment and relentless fear. The moral: covetousness ruins the self and society.
