Seven Deadly Sins & Virtues

SEVEN DEADLY SINS, the world as we know it...

SLOTH (laziness)-God didn't put us here to be idle creatures. We were created to praise His name and spread the word.

GREED-Why is it that we always want more, and more, and more and more of certain things, yet we're so hesitant to give?

ANGER-How can someone make you so angry, so fast? God tells us to love each other as He loves us, and to not be so quick to get angry. Ask Him to deal with your anger.

LUST-Stop being so loose. For real. Lust is not love, you should know that, and if you don't, you're loose.

ENVY-We were each created differently for a specific reason, love the person that God made you to be. Don't worry about what others do, have, or what they look like.

PRIDE-Just me, myself, and I.......father, son, and the holy spirit.

GLUTTONY-63% of American adults in 2009 were either overweight or obese. Too much of anything is unhealthy for you.

SEVEN HEAVENLY VIRTUES, the world as it should be......

FAITH-belief in the right things. That excludes anything associated with the seven deadly sins.

HOPE-taking a positive future view, that good will prevail. Don't be so negative all the time.

CHARITY-concern for, and active helping of, others. We're supposed to love and help one another.

FORTITUDE-never giving up. If we always gave up when situations got tough, where would we end up?

JUSTICE-being fair and equitable with others. Treat others the way you would want to be treated, we're all God's creations.

PRUDENCE-care of and moderation with money. You will either end up in debt or in trouble with the law if you continue to spend money frivolously. 

TEMPERANCE-moderation of needed things and abstinence from things which are not needed. The opposite of greed. If you have everything you need, why want more?
