Here’s a little blurb from an article by Perry Noble concerning food abuse. If you’re overweight, or have ever been overweight, you seriously need to check this out:

I’ve been in churches that have no problem at all going off on…oh, I don’t know, pick a sin…let’s say the abuse of alcohol. You will hear pastors and church members SCREAM about “the devils brew” and make swiping statements about who all who choose to partake of “that stuff.” I have heard self-righteous Christians proclaim, “Alcohol has never touched my lips” when it is also obvious that a treadmill has never touched their legs.

I know, I know–people have yelled at me about this before, “But Perry, it’s different…people DIE from abusing alcohol…they have car wrecks and such.” AND I agree…I have seen firsthand what alcohol abuse can do to someone. Trust me–I do not need a lecture here.

BUT I would argue that being overweight and even obese is just as bad…people are oblivious to the fact that they are literally eating themselves to death.

Check out the entire article right here, and be sure to bookmark Perry’s site (or add it to your feed reader) to watch for his future updates. Looking forward to what he has to say.

This also begs the question; what kind of shape is your temple in? Are you desecrating it? I know I’m not treating mine right. Maybe we all need to band together, get accountable, and get these temples our Lord has given us cleaned up. What do you think? Can we do it?
