Our “Manual for Becoming the People God Designed Us To Be,” (Letter to the Colossians) identifies four cancers that have the potential of destroying our lives, our families, our church and our nation: sexual immorality, evil desire, greed and anger.

Initial identification of these cancers sounds rather insignificant.  We tend to trivialize them as “weaknesses” that we constantly deal with like the common cold.  They are just parts of life in this world — minor lesions — no big deal.

But they are significant.  St. Paul says that the anger of God is coming because of these behaviors (Colossians 3:6)
