The Sin of Insensitivity (Respectable Sins Series)

We rightly avoid over-indulgence in pleasure, but what happens when we under-indulge? When we refuse to enjoy the gifts of God the way he intended? In this episode we continue our series on respectable sins by talking about the sin of insensitivity. Someone may seem outwardly reverent and pious, but actually lack any affection at all for the things he believes. We’re not just talking about bare emotions, but rather a joyful disposition appropriate for Christians. Christianity is not for curmudgeons.  PODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 00:00 Introduction 00:42 Understanding Vices and Virtues 03:35 Misusing Pleasure 07:55 Discipline vs. Rigidity 09:24 Aquinas and Necessary Pleasure 12:27 Sentimentalism in Worship 16:54 Training Our Affections 21:27 Defective Joy and Cynicism 26:29 Monks and Overcorrection 28:28 Self-Importance and Self-Justification 31:50 God’s Rest for Weary Souls 33:06 Paul’s Flag-Flying History 35:29 Conclusion SUPPORT Patreon:   / thatllpreach   FOLLOW: Website: https://www.thatllpreach.io IG:   / thatllpreachpodcast   #virtue #theology #ethics #aquinas
