and Upbringing، Biblical Commentary، Spiritual Life and VirtuesDescription:In "The Rich Fool", Fr. Luke Sidarous explores Christ's warning in "Tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me
." He traces greed through "A rich man's land produced plentifully," "What shall I do, for I have no room to store my crops?" and "I will pull down my barns and build greater ones." He refutes false security in "Say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years," and "Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry," concluding with "So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
