ghandi's version of the seven deadly sins:
- politics without principle
- wealth without work
- commerce without morality
- pleasure without conscience
- education without character
- science without humanity
- worship without sacrifice
"we have inherited a particularly greek way of understanding the truth- that we simply master a body of material and then repeat it back on cue or merely implement the things we have learned...but for the hebrews, living was meant to change thinking...[the hebrew way] is both more biblical and more revealing of how most of us really do learn and change." - jim wallis
in light of the above deadly sins, in what way would you change your lifestyle in order to change your thinking?
i would say that sacrifice doesn't enter the worship equation for me. i like to worship on my own terms- my own time, my own style- often to to neglect of others' and God's.
how to change my lifestyle so that my thinking changes?...i'll have to think about that...
