II. THE DEADLY BOREDOM OF SLOTH
“The sin of our times is the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.” - Dorothy Sayers
III. TRUE SATISFACTION
“I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” - Jesus (John 6.35)
