UnFit Church?

Here is something interesting to think about.

I met with a pastor the other day who had recently begun taking a group of guys at his church through a program to help them understand the role of physical health in their lives. I was really excited to hear about their success. Some of the guys have made big progress in realizing where they have gone wrong over the years. The pastor said to me, " When are we going to realize that every single part of our lives is under God's jurisdiction?"

What a great point. Have you made that realization yet? I've seen Christian after Christian, leave church on sunday, go to the local Diner,order French Toast, butter, hash browns, syrup and a chocolate chip muffin and ask God to bless it to their bodies before they eat it.

Are we nuts? God isn't going to bless that to their bodies. He's going to let it do exactly what it always does......cause a huge spike in your blood sugar, causing you to store fat and not allowing your to burn any stored fat. You are going to get a bunch of energy for like 5 minutes and then crash and burn as the simple sugars wear off. Repeat this enough times and there is a good chance you'll end up with type II diabetes. Some Blessing huh.

It's time we as a Church realize, we are His creation. He has given us a magnificient body to do terrific good works with. However, we live unrealistic lifestyles and expect extraordinary things.

Our culture is suffering from a health crisis. As always, it's up to the Church to lead them back to the light. I'm excited to be part of that process.
