7 Deadly Sins: Sloth

Sloth can be translated as laziness, depression, joylessness, apathy, indifference, slowness, sadness, melancholy.... and being average. It is a sin of omission, or inaction, rather than comission, or action. In other words, saying/doing nothing when someone commits one of the other 6 deadly sins is just as harmful as committing it yourself.

I just attended a 3-day ProVision Network Leadership Summit for Christian businesspeople around the world. The things we learned were both exciting/invigorating and sobering. We learned about the gravest issues facing the entire globe in the coming years (water shortages & waterborne diseases, energy crises and environmental destruction from global warming, the increasing prison population, and more); we also learned about amazing opportunities that come along with these problems, and we explored the tremendous potential of the human spirit, especially when it comes into agreement and unity with a body of like-minded spirits. We now have a great responsibility to act on what we've learned. To be slow or slothful at a time like this will prove deadly not only for ourselves but for the masses as well.

We CAN make a difference. A major one. And because we can, we must.
