If you've ever started watching a movie halfway through, not only is it almost impossible to figure out what's happening, but it can look like there's no hope for the end.

"In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit". You've probably heard this phrase to describe God as some part of a ceremony or service. You know what a father and a son are, but what is a 'Holy Spirit'? How do you even relate to God as a 'Spirit? Is it a transcendent encounter, an emotion you feel, or a weird ghost or aura?

The deadly sin of sloth will affect your life physically, intellectually, and spiritually. It can find expression in laziness and idleness. Be intentional with your time and energy on the mission of loving and serving God and others to enjoy Jesus now, in daily sacrifice.
