Charles the Simple, Son of Louis the Stammerer, was so-called for his policy of making concessions to the Norse invaders rather than fighting.
Louis the Sluggard, noted for his self-indulgence, ruled from 986 to 987 over the Franks.
Ethelred the Unready (968-1016) was so-called because of his inability to repel the Danish invasion of England. At first, he paid tribute to the Danes, but their raids continued, and he was forced to abandon England for Normandy in 1013. Those who are more generous call him Ethelred the Ill-advised.
Louis the Fat, like his father, was obese. At the age of forty-seven because of his extreme corpulence, he was unable to mount his horse.
Just a thought, but what do you think the historians will call us? Will our decisions and appetites give rise to a name that is less than complimentary?
Colossians 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
Think about it.
