"But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness..."
Matthew 6:33a
Matthew 6:33a
This Sunday we'll be talking about the last of the Seven Deadly Sins and boy are we ending this series with a bang! This week we are taking on Lust, Gluttony and Greed. These three represent possibly the biggest stumbling blocks for Christians (especially those in the United States) so get your popcorn ready!
In our country we are surrounded by a culture of consumerism that lies to us and tells us that bigger and more is always better. We are fooled into believing that getting what we want will always result in our happiness. It is these lies that are at the heart of each of these three sins. Each sin is in one way or another indicative of an out of control desire. But if these three are so big and bad, especially for Americans, what good news can there be?
Judging by the above picture you can infer that either the solution has something to do with the Magic Kingdom and Disney World (wouldn't that be fun?) or that we'll be going in a direction that has something to do with kingdoms. I'm voting for the latter, but you'll have to show up to find out!
