A Consuming Covetousness

2 Kings 5:20-27

The progression of sinful thinking

1. Thinking worldly (vs. 20)
   1. Begin to rationalize behavior
   2. Try to justify self
2. Deceives carefully (vs. 21-25)
   1. Once the decision is made there is no stopping
   2. Lies to save face and look righteous
   3. Detaches from reality
3. Sin is revealed completely (vs. 27)

All  of our sinful thoughts will eventually come out in our behavior
