Desires

The tenth commandment deals with our desires. The problem is not that we have desires but that we desire the wrong things or persons. We desire wealth on earth rather than treasures in heaven. We desire need to exchange the lesser for the greater, the temporal for the eternal. When we covet we have replaced God with another god. It is not that desires need to be eradicated from our life completely because that would be Buddhism and not Christianity but instead our desire must be in Christ.
