ok, so... the past 2 weeks i havent been able to go to church, but this past sunday was so amazing. my pastor suffered from an over-eatin problem and after keeping his weight off for a year (lost 105 pounds) he is finally ready to talk about it. this past sunday he talked about discipline and how we get self control through Christ. he also mentioned that the bible doesnt really mention this problem becuz they didnt have this problem back then...
it's a sin to overeat (glutony.. sp?) not to be overweight.
some of you dont think it is a problem.. but some people really do suffer from an overeating disorder.
http://www.springcreekchurch.org/messagearchives.html there are the messages if you feel the need to just yell at me, but i agree with him 100% . i am NOT advertising dieting. JUST eating correctly and exercising. becuz even over dieting is a sin. so DO NOT get the wrong idea. i just wanna share with you what i am learnin in church.
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10.31
"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were ought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." 1 Corinthians 6.19 19-20
"Each of you should learn to control his own body, keeping it pure and treating it with respect..." 1 Thessalonians 4.4
