Do not covet your neighbor's house. Do not covet your neighbor's wife, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbors. [Exodus 20:17 ]

We've saved, as they say, the most applicable and convicting for last. (Well, maybe they don't say exactly that.) Let's face it: We all covet. We might not murder, or commit adultery, or steal--at least, not in the most obvious sense--but we ALL covet. We envy. We desire. We feel discontentment. There's something out there that we need, something that will complete us, make us better or smarter or skinnier or just plain happier. The advertising industry thrives on our propensity to covet: ads that show us what we're missing and how much greater our lives could be if we just had *it* (whatever the it du jour is, of course).

Today, Pastor Paul and Mark start their sprint toward the finish line of the second season of A Fresh Take by taking a look at the tenth and final commandment. Beginning with the question of why this commandment is so important--after all, it seems tame in comparison to cheating on your spouse or taking someone's life--and ending with the conclusion that God definitely knew what he was doing by including this one in the list, we're wrapping up this series and season with one more deep dive into the command against coveting.
