An excerpt from "Study Tools.com" entitled, "Why Have We Become Okay With the Sin of Greed? by Stephen Baker, states: "The American Dream has long inspired many generations of this country to build a life for themselves from the fruit of their labor. You can have almost anything if you’re willing to work for it. The overwhelming opportunities and possibilities enable people to pursue their heart’s desires with great hope and optimism. Over time, there has been a noticeable decline of our human state of relationships. People seem to be more and more selfish, and greed appears to dwell in the very heartbeat of society. If we’re honest, this isn’t surprising. The fear of the Lord is all but absent as society continues to plunge further in its rejection of God and His Word. Many young people outrightly reject the Christian faith, and numerous Christian entities try to “update” God’s Word to conform to culture because they cave to societal pressures. Ultimately, the rejection of God is the root cause for the greed which plagues our nation because we’ve not allowed God to govern our hearts."
