Gone are the days of promoting self-control to children. Secular solutions to envy are based on the idea that material goods can bring contentment, and that it is better to indulge longings than to repress them.

But ancient, Biblical wisdom says “where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.”

Greed:

The Love of Money is the root of all kinds of evil
(1 Timothy 6:10)

Envy:

For where you have envy and selfish ambition,
there you find disorder and every evil practice.
(James 3:16)
