Gospel Luke 15:1-3, 11-32
The young son who lives in debauchery.
Debauchery meaning - Extreme indulgence in sensual pleasures

Listening to music, watching tv and telling white lies excessively are examples of debauchery.

Are we living in Debauchery as well?
Sometime we are so used to telling white lies that we got numb in doing it. Since everyone is doing it, you do not find it wrong to do the same thing

The young man realizes that he was wrong and he changed, do we realize when we are in the wrong too?

When you are watching tv excessively, can God speak to you?
What is excessive in our life?
When we do things excessively, we
1. Lost sight of Kingdom of God
2. Lost sight of Father, Son & Holy Spirit
3. Lost sight of others

When you do things excessively, there’s something within you that is missing, craving for an attention

Are we doing what is required of us?
Jesus asks us to love one another as He has loved us.
How can we love someone when these excessive things come before them?

Reading: Romans 13:11-14
Prayer: Psalm 1
