Traitors—More Than Just the 7 Deadly Sins: Apathy
09/13/23 • 25 min
There are different kinds of apathy, and they show up in different ways. Apathy in others can be annoying and frustrating, but there is one kind of apathy that is deadly for each of us. It is spiritual apathy.
Dr. Bruce Becker explores the Bible's examples of the deadly sin of spiritual apathy and its preventative cure—zeal for our God and other people.
"Traitors—More Than Just the 7 Deadly Sins" looks at the attitudes that can turn us into actual traitors—when we end up betraying God, others, and ourselves. Included in these traitorous attitudes are the seven deadly sins—but there are far more in number. Dr. Becker is including three additional traitorous attitudes for this ten-part series.
