Gluttony (6 of 7)

Celebrate with me that we had 48 registered guests last week at Cross at the Grand Opening! Today, I happy to announce we will have our first two baptisms in the new building! Join me in praying for many more baptisms in the days to come.

The chief sin of all the 7 deadly sins is pride where all the other vices work under this chief vice, the vice of pride.

He looked at it, backed off for a while, flew away, later on he was seen flying back with nine other woodpeckers. He said, ''There it is gentlemen, right over there.'' Pride is an attitude of independence from God: ''I don't need you, God. Stay out of my life. I can handle it myself.''
Next, there is envy. Envy is when I resent you for your success. Envy can kill the harmony of your family. Anger makes the list of the seven deadly sins because ...
