After much thought it behooves me to warn people about eating too much white flour and too much sugar. Sounds simple I know, but in all reality these are the two killers among us in the Church today! Our bodies are created by the living God and we are not to abuse them.(I Corinthians 6: 19-20). This article will address the Body of Christ. There are some illnesses we cannot control, but most of them we can.
Heart disease and type 2 diabetes are illnesses brought on ourselves. Today we are a "fast" generation and it is killing us! Are we not warned in God's Word that if we are given to appetite then we should put a knife to our throats? (Proverbs 23:2). I know you have heard this over and over about eating habits, but have we looked at it through God's Word? Will over eating send you to hell? No, but do you really want to leave your family so soon? I'm not a health food fanatic, but it is heavy on my heart that our children are so obese and some will even die from it!
When we go to a fast food place on a regular basis we do harm to ourselves. The Word tells us to do everything in "Moderation"! There is an old saying, "It is alright to eat one brownie, but not the whole pan".
May God help us to take care of our bodies so that we might serve the Lord with energy and have a good testimony to the world. When you see an obese preacher, what is your first thought? Oh, God deliver us from an ungodly appetite in the name of Jesus Christ! Give us strength to do it Lord! Amen.
