The Seven Deadly Sins have had a powerful roll in shaping history and society but they aren’t actually found as a list in the Holy Bible. In 590 AD, Pope Gregory the Great declared that seven sins were deadly to body and soul. Two of them are…

Lust:

Also known as Adultery, Fornication, Temptation, Lechery, Sensuality ….. is Self-indulgent Sexual Desire.

Because of lust, 40% of pre-teens have viewed Porn and 50% of girls are sexually active by age 17. Then 1 in 4 have a sexually transmitted disease. Then abortion, the result of un-restrained lust, kills the entire population of Philidelphia every year.

If you look after a woman with Lust, you have already committed adultery
(Matthew 5:28)

Gluttony:

Americans eat almost 4 times more calories per day than the global average. This is why 1/3 kids are overweight or obese and 2/3 adults are overweight or obese. The United States generates 500 pounds of food waste every second.

Beyond food, 77% of adults are dependent on caffeine or tobacco products and 14% of adults overuse prescription medication.

Their God is their belly
(Philippians 3:19)
