Introduction
Of all the deadly sins, surely sloth is the lightweight. I mean, sloth? Seriously—a deadly sin? When it comes to the other six, we get it. We know pride goes before a fall. We know anger too often leads to violence. We know lust destroys from the inside out, that envy put Jesus on the cross. We even get that gluttony can lead to premature death. But seriously, has anyone ever died from taking it easy?

Introduction
It’s been my habit for more years than I can remember to read the Bible in a Year, with Zoe, in the morning.
We follow various plans and just a few months back I was excited when we came round to reading 1 John. I’ve read it before many times, so it was great to refresh. It’s just five chapters so it was done in a day or two with the other readings in the plan. But there’s so much in this book.

Introduction
Not everything in the world is good. Not everything in the world is happy. Not everything in the world is beautiful. In fact, real evil does exist in the world. You can pick up any kind of newspaper, and if you start going through it, you're going to find—in the international section—terrorism and war and genocide. If you go through the national section, you're going to find political payoffs and lies and scams and churches set on fire.

Alienation was originally a Marxist word and Karl Marx meant by it the alienation of the worker from the product of his labors. When what he produces is sold by the factory owner, he is alienated from the fruits of his earned work. But nowadays the word alienation has a much broader meaning for powerlessness. Whenever you feel politically or economically powerless, you are feeling alienated.

Introduction
One time, my family and I went to a restaurant. As per usual, I was off in my own little world while my family grabbed their food and sat down. When I snapped out of it, I looked up and saw my family sitting across the way.
So I walked over to them, but I realized that I was looking at them through some windows and I didn’t know how to get to the other room where they were sitting. I was puzzled. I walked the length of the wall trying to find a door.

The story behind the sermon (by Dan Meyer)
The personal backdrop
The sermon "God and Caesar" reflects my longstanding curiosity about the proper relationship between piety and politics. This interest, I suppose, is a function of extended exposure to the topic. I grew up in a political family, the son of a state senator and nephew of a U.S. senator. I hold a political science degree from Yale and led its student government.

Introduction
We are going to begin a very important study in what is arguably the most important passage in all of the Bible, regarding how we as Christians are supposed to understand the earthly human governments under which we find ourselves. This is a massively important text, and if we rightly understand them and can appropriate them into our thinking, we can avoid some of the most common and disastrous mistakes that punctuate church history.

Introduction
If you're a Christian, you know that Christianity is supposed to be about joy. You probably also know that you're supposed to experience joy in spite of circumstances. The Bible clearly teaches that joy is available that should make us happy no matter the circumstances. There's a joy that the deepest trouble can't put out, and if properly nourished and nurtured, can even overwhelm the greatest grief.
When Jesus prays to the Father in John 17, he prays for us—his followers.

Introduction
In 1990, Saddam Hussein invaded the little nation of Kuwait. Saudi Arabia, knowing it would be next on Saddam's hit list, called Washington and asked for help. Regardless of your political persuasion, you would have to agree on that occasion, then President Bush was at his best. Because President Bush picked up the phone and he called England and Canada and Spain and France, Italy, Turkey and numbers of other countries around the world and built the famous Coalition.
