The Root of All Sin Is Self-Worship

So are we at the bottom with greed and covetousness? No. The end of verse five,

"Which amounts to idolatry." What is idolatry? Worshiping someone other than God,

right? What's the top of the Ten Commandments? The first one, "You shall have

no other gods." So idolatry is the root of all sin. That now we're at the bottom of this

pathological process. Idolatry is at the bottom of every sin. It's when you stop

worshiping God and you decide you're gonna worship yourself. It's like saying, "I will not submit

to you as my sovereign. I want what I want. I will be sovereign. You're not going to tell me what

I can and cannot have. I will determine what I can or cannot have."
