Another thing that might tip you off that you have officially lost your mind is if you get sexually aroused as you read Money magazine or if you get equally excited watching Cashin’ In on Fox. That could mean your Emily Rose-ing into the, “I need an exorcism mode” with this whole love of money thing.

No, greed cannot be deduced to just having or wanting things. Neither can it be simplified by the old stereotype of some money hoarding, parsimonious, spendthrift who can pinch a penny so hard he can make it squeal.

No, the soul of this sin, in the words of Guinness, “is not the love of possessions but of possessing and therefore being a possessor.” The ironic thing about this unmistakable mistake, according to Os, “is that those who have as their passion the pursuit of possessing end up getting possessed.”

So, what’s the answer? Communism? Uh, no. That hasn’t worked and won’t work. The biblical answer is work your butt off, make your cash, enjoy your life, be content to not be Bill Gates or The Donald, and be generous with what you have. Yeah, being content and generous tosses you into the “blessed are the merciful” maxim.

The great biblical men and women were able to not only be rich in stuff but also rich in good works. Believe it or not, it is possible to be wealthy without being a living heart donor. It is possible, with God, to accumulate cash without deception, duplicity, sadism or lusting after money like Clinton does a chunky female intern with a pretty mouth. It is only, only, when money and mercy meet that people and nations are able to stay focused with their finances.
