Is Ambition a Sin?

Summary

Elder Dan Salmons explores the question of whether ambition is a sin, emphasizing that ambition itself is not inherently sinful but must be examined in light of its object and motivation. He warns against the common conflation of ambition with covetousness, a sin that often plagues believers and society. Using biblical references, he encourages believers to modulate their ambitions so they do not conflict with their spiritual well-being or service to God's kingdom. The sermon highlights the importance of godliness with contentment and cautions against the love of money and materialism.
