Colossians 3:5
Excerpted from: Remaining FreePaul identifies the sin of covetousness as idolatry. There comes a point when desire, wishing for, or longing for, comes between us and God. When that happens, whatever we are greatly desiring becomes our god. It has a hold over us, meaning it has become our master. We are then a slave to that desire and no longer free to serve the true God because we have given our heart to something else.
