Heated words, cool malice, deadly feuds, the furious rush of adrenaline - anger is clearly the most destructive of the seven deadly sins, or it can lead to acting like Jesus when he became angry. Some people get angry about things that do not matter; others channel their anger to bring about sacred acts that change the world. Let us look at managing our anger for life not death.
Nobody wants to live a wasted life. God never called us to just coast through life. We want our lives to have purpose and meaning. Jesus invites us to join him in complete abandon to make a difference.
Greed is the self-serving desire for the pursuit of money, wealth, power, food or other possessions, especially when this denies the same goods to others. It is generally considered a vice & is one of the seven deadly sins of the ancient church.
Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. Gluttony is not just about food, it is about an excess of anything. We stuff ourselves in order to satisfy the grumbling in our soul. When we feel hungry for something, it’s God we are hungry for. God alone can fill the hungry place!
Lust is desire in excess, beyond healthy limits. One of the great challenges of this life is to direct & expand our desire toward God & limit our lust for the things of this world.
