“Our motto at Measureup is ‘WE ARE NOT GREEDY, JUST COMPETITIVE,'” says the advertisement in our local paper.

What is greed? It is an excessive desire for a lot of things: food, wealth, power and success.

Do I ever like that motto.

What does the Bible say in Luke 12:15?

There we read:

“Then he [Jesus] said to them, ‘Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.'”
