Greed has been ,is now and always will be one of the deadliest sins committed against God. Scripture is clear on that. Greed destroys not only its perpetrator but also its victim. As a nation we support the only global economic system that thrives and encourages greed: capitalism. The bible clearly emphasizes that God does not support capitalism and Jesus sees it as one of the surest way to eternal destruction.

Jesus died for us in the cross and yet our focus are on material items that have no deep value. I for one will thank the Lord for all the blessings and will ask the questions posed from you this coming year. I will share the important questions with my family and prayers.
The holidays are about JESUS.Once again thank you for redirecting our Christian path. God Bless M.Molina
