Last night I was invited to the opening of a new photography exhibition here in Lima which focuses on the 7 Deadly Sins & 7 Modern Sins. The photographer attends our church.
Most people are familiar with the 7 Deadly Sins, but just in case you need a refresher course, they are lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath (anger), envy, and pride.
The photographer's 7 Modern Sins include genetic modification (cloning), experimentation on human beings (modern science), environmental contamination (oil), social injustice (modern war), generational poverty (discrimination), financial ambition (within the church), and drug consumption (including designer drugs).
It is a fascinating list.
We do battle with every single one of the 7 Deadly Sins and 7 Modern Sins every day, at least here in Peru. I believe that it is probably the same for the rest of you, no matter where in the world that you are doing church or ministry.
What are you doing in your church or ministry - or what more can you do - to combat each of the 7 Deadly Sins and 7 Modern Sins?
