or covetous man, who is an idolater

Envy is a sin and all, but check out number nine. What's egregious isn't that he appears on the list; as the most famous of the evangelicals, as a striking man of God, there is plenty to envy. What's egregious are the reasons listed for the envy. Bestselling author (read wealth)? Pastor of a large church (read wealth)? 90% income giveaway (read wealth)? Meaning behind his job (read purpose).

You want purpose, hardheart? You want wealth? You can have both by softening up that stone and accepting His free gift. But if you'd rather have the earthly temptations, get to it. There are others on that list more deserving of your sin.
