This is a very good teaching on covetousness. For years and years and years it seems that everyone teaches and defines covetousness as a desire for something that belongs to someone else. That does fall under the heading of covetousness, but it is not the exclusive definition of it. Covetousness is the desire, as he said, for anything other than the Lord himself, whether it be hobbies, a new car or a new house or a pair of shoes or an antique or a cheap five dollar wristwatch, or "the weekend" or a trip to Disneyland or whatever we desire to satisfy our hearts other than the Lord himself.
