Food satisfies us and kind of numbs us out. The seventh one is slothfulness. The sloth is a creature that hangs upside down for days. He is a slow moving, tree dwelling creature. This is neglecting important areas. Oftentimes we are so busy shaking and baking and raking in cash that we give our family leftovers. It causes us to say, I will deal with the seven deadly sins later. I will worry about sinetics later.
There is also eternal slothfulness that is really scary. Many here are one prayer away from eternity with Christ. Yet they say, Ill wait until tomorrow.
Here is your homework. Jump over the side of your vessel into the coffee black waters. Feel those hang-ups. Understand the process of sinetic engineering and label those sins. Because next week we are going to see what we do with them as we crack the code on sin.
Several weeks ago, my friends took Lisa and I scuba diving. Although neither of us are certified, a local dive master in the area assured us that he could give us a crash course. He told us over the phone that we would begin this whole process with a shallow water beach dive, then after we got comfortable, he would take us into the deep water and do a fifty-foot dive. I knew we were in trouble when we boarded the boat, because the dive master, Keith, and his dive master girlfriend, Casey, didnt even entertain the thought of doing the shallow water thing. Keith just thrust the throttle forward and headed out to the deep blue sea. Lisa and I were looking at each other like, what have we gotten ourselves into?
According to
The Sexperiment finally the boat stopped. Casey, the dive master girlfriend, threw the anchor overboard. Keith got up and began to give us the Readers Digest version of scuba diving. Keith is a great guy with a very interesting personality. He had a deep, dark tan, multiple body piercings, tattoos everywhere. It looked like he was naked, because his belly pretty much eclipsed his Speedo. Anyway, between drags on a cigarette, he began to talk to us about the hazards and the adventures of diving. He stopped mid-sentence, looked at me and said, Hey, by the way, what do you do for a living? I looked back at him and said, Keith, Ill give you a multiple choice. Im either in radio, commercial real estate, or am a pastor.
