The 10th commandment emphasizes the prohibition of coveting a neighbor's possessions to prevent serious sins like theft, adultery, and murder. It encourages detachment from materialism and warns against the dangers of unchecked desire and consumerism, which can lead to spiritual neglect and insensitivity to societal injustices. The presentation was given by Sherry Pardillo.

1. 10th Commandment
“Thou shall not covet your
neighbor’s house/good.”
Ex. 20:17 Dt. 5:21

2. Meaning
• The tenth commandment deals with the
disordered desire of the heart.
• Prohibition of coveting as a fence or boundary
intended to keep adherents a safe distance
away from the very serious sins of theft,
adultery, and murder.

3. Meaning
• It happens when the desire runs unchecked or
becomes disordered and unruly.
• Calls for detachment from the material
possessions and from inordinate desire for
acquiring goods.

4. Meaning
• Consumerism is another danger. Its effects in
us:
– We become enslaved by our possessions and
obsessed with getting more
– Closing our eyes off to our own spiritual needs
– Turning a blind eye and deaf ear to the poverty
and unjust exploitation of others
