19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. Philippians 3:19
August 29, 2022 - The seven deadly sins, also known as cardinal sins, is a grouping and classification of vices within Christian teachings. According to the standard list, they are pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. They are attitudes and devices that lead into many other sins. I have been preaching since I was eighteen years old. I have preached many sermons on those deadly sins over the years and have heard many other preachers warn us about committing them.
But as I think over it, I wonder why I have preached mostly on only six of these sins. And I’m not alone… other preachers hardly ever preach on all seven of them, either. Maybe it’s because that “ignored sin” gets a little too close to home for most preachers to preach or for many church members to hear.
It’s the sin of gluttony.
