Thou Shalt Not Covet

"Being provident providers, we must keep the most basic commandment, "That shalt not covet" (Exodus 20:17). Our world is fraught with feelings of entitlement...If our family does not have everything the neighbors have,...we go into debt to buy things we cannot afford - and things we do not really need. Whenever we do this, we become poor temporally and spiritually."

Robert D. Hales, "Becoming Provident Providers Temporarlly and Spiritually," Ensign, May 2009,8
