    Having, Losing, Choosing

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 31, 2009
     | 4,616 views

Anything we have we can also very easily lose. We live in a monumental city. Capitol Hill, the monuments, the Federal Triangle, the White ...read more

    Sloth is more than laziness. It is lack of working for the betterment of the community: both the community of the body of Christ and the community at large. Basically, it is the failure to make a contribution to make the lives of people around you better.

    SE7EN: SL6TH 2 Thessalonians 3:6-14 June 22, 2008 Alright, we are coming down to the final two deadly sins.
