What's On Your Wish List? (11 of 11)
Series: The Original Top Ten
Dr. Jeffery B. Ginn
Exodus 20:17

2. Everybody needs a wish list.
1. Monasticism. Mysticism, Buddhism, the pinnacle of spiritual is the elimination of desire. The human condition is suffering. Suffering is created by desire. Salvation is the elimination of desire. In monasticism, the participants take a vow of poverty, chastity and obedience.
