This past Thursday at Connect Downtown, Dr. John Daniels was the speaker. It was titled, "7 Deadly Sins."
The 7 deadly sins are pride, lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, anger, and envy. Here is what they mean.
Lust-excessive sexual desires
Gluttony-over indulgence
Greed-to covet, acquisition of wealth
Sloth-sadness, despair, depression leading to being paralyzed
Anger-rage, inordinate and uncontrollable feelings of hatred
Envy-being jealous
Pride-hubris, vanity, most serious-excessive love of self
The worst of these is Pride, and all of them can be pretty much summed up into pride.
There are 3 conditions we battle. Arrogance, indifference, and disobedience.
All of these can be hard to face, but if you love God, and follow the Bible, we can overcome these sins.
