Title: Heart Attack (Greed)

• where your treasure is, is also where your heart is
  
• God is interested in how you manage your money
  
• Greed is not a financial issue but is a heart people
  
• Greed is easy to hide behind virtual and self- presentation skills
  
• Greedy people are people that is very selfish
  
• Greedy people will expect you to return back what they had provided you
  
• Luke 12:15
  
• When you are angry or guilty people can tell, but when you are greedy no one can really tell because it is very personal
  
• Allowing things of this world to take over the place of people is greed ( See things that is more important realtionship with people)
  
• Fear of losing your own possesion fuel the whole concept of greed
  
• Greedy people will rarely find peace with people around them , as what they focus on is material and things, not the relationship
  
• Luke 12:15-21
• we need to be aware of this fact, that things in this world is something that you can bring over to heaven. in another words, why invest so much in this world and be greedy over those "worthless" things
  
• We will all die and eventually all the things that you used to owe will not be yours any more
  
• Luke 12:21
  
• It is not a matter of it somebody else will get it; it's just a matter of when and how. Either we will give it away while we still have time, or it will be taken away when our time runs out
  
• Greed is conquer but being generous
  
• Greed is not a feeling but is a refusal to act
  
• Don't wait until God changed your heart then you begin to give and contribute with what you have ( Just like the concept, "you exercise to get a healthy heart, but not wait for a healthy heart to exercise)
