This Sunday, June 13, we begin a sermon series on the Seven Deadly Sins, or Vices. "The vices," says Rebecca Konyndyk DeYoung ("Glittering Vices), "are most often treated as a matter of lighthearted humor." Sloth is to be commended - aren't we all too busy and rushed? Gluttony might be a new appreciation for good food and good company. A little anger might be in order instead of the passive acceptance we too often see around us. But we must take sin seriously; we have to name it, and then turn it over to Jesus. We begin with that green monster, envy.
