I recently came across Amy Welborn's simple explanation of the Seven Deadly Sins. Pretty powerful--helped me realize that, of course, I commit almost every one of these almost every day!
Pride: I don't need anyone, even God. (Gen 3:1-5)
Greed: I want stuff, no matter what the price. (Ex 20:17)
Envy: I'm not happy with who I am. (Gen 4:3-7)
Anger: I wish ill for you. (Matt. 5:22)
Lust: I'll use you for my own pleasure. (Matt. 5:27-28)
Gluttony: I want, and I don't care if others don't have.
(Prov. 28:7)
Sloth: I don't care. Let life pass me by. (Matt. 26:41)
