I don't really have the words or stomach to blog about the financial situation and the economy, but from what I can see we are in this mess because of greed. Downright sinful greed. People began taking on more debt than they could really afford because of their want for "more" and people in the financial sector out of their desire to want "more" took the opportunity to profit from it. It's disgusting. The greed and the consequences are like a cancer---it spreads.
Proverbs 28:25 A greedy man stirs up dissension, but he who trusts in the LORD will prosper. 26 He who trusts in himself is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
Jesus said in Luke 12: 15 He said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."
