My family always had dinner together and then sat around discussing our day and catching up. I don’t see what’s wrong with that. Plus my mom prepared wonderful meals with that awesome southern flare.
I don't think I've ever heard a convicting sermon on how we need to take care of our bodies. It isn't about vanity, but about longevity to continue to share the Gospel for as many years as possible.
I'm stuck on the smoking not delivered and its get thrown in my face, ignoring the fact that I can fast for days, pray in the spirit and have words of prophecy. They disregard all their cellulite and triglycerides...
Gluttony is sin. Needless eating & drinking is sin. We've cut down a lot. Waste of time, money, energy..... Live a fasted life. Let Holy Spirit lead us in all things.
Years ago I worked at a large Christian camp. In the kitchen we would joke that the first message should be on gluttony. We'd have to remember that when folks came to be a mile closer to heaven people tended to eat more.
Food addiction is perfectly okay with fundamentalists and evangelicals. Just look at a lot of them. Quite a few are obese. But alcohol use at any time is an absolute no no! I don’t care if it’s a can of beer or glass of wine at a meal or drinking a fifth a day, it’s wrong, period! 🙄
I'll smoke a cigar; as did Charles Spurgeon, enjoy a glass of wine, as did Jesus (or some other) from time to time. I've long enjoyed the debate that follows when my overweight, obese good non-denominational Christian friends chastise me for the sin of both the cigar and the wine; but tell me I'm being hurtful, judgemental and unchristian when I point out their daily wanton sin of gluttony, vice my occasional alcohol. But this seems to be an epidemic, mostly in the American protestant non-denominational evangelical (and too often hipster) church.
When you let it control you rather than you control it that's when the sin takes over I don't believe it's sinful to drink I believe it's sinful to get drunk I don't believe it's sinful to smoke a cigar or a cigarette but when you have to do it everyday because your body craves it that's sinful. I don't smoke but have an on a rare occasion in the past maybe 10 cigars in my lifetime maybe 10 cigarettes in my lifetime but I do drink not to access a couple of beers and then I switch over to water or whatever or whiskey and Coke and one or two and that's about it It doesn't control me and I don't have to do it everyday that's my point.
Lingering at the dinner table more often would do us some good. Gluttony and food prep isn't the same. Food prep was much longer for people in the Bible than today. Gluttony is overheating, not spending too much time preparing food and with loved ones at the table. - From a fellow American with Italian ancestry
You can quit. I started smoking when I was 16. When you get so disgusted at that nasty habit, you will. Go to the gym, it's great to occupy your time and you can't breath during the workout, it will give you motivation. Changing habits is hard but doable.
@@angie-bk1yc Thanks for the encouragement. You know, I've ALWAYS thought ciggs were nice, I've never been disgusted by them, I wish I was. Did you just sort'f become disgusted by them oneday? Or did you force yourself to become disgusted by smoking heaps or something?
@CoolioMoDee no lol. I was just like you. I loved smoking and my entire family did it. I also drank a lot of alcohol. I've been active in my life. I have bipolar and get manic a lot so I went to the gym alot. When smoking got in the way of that it really bothered me. My husband also hated me smoking and I didn't want my son to do it. I finally got saved and God just convicted me so bad I prayed and cried one day. God took that craving away. I just got tired of thinking I'm going to let this keep me guilty when God obviously doesn't want me to kill my body that holds his spirit. I guess I just got convicted bad. Lol I was a dental hygienist also and didn't smoke before work or during because I didn't want to smell bad. It's just a personal thing I went through. God reaches us all differently. Just pray, he is faithful to deliver you. 💕
@@angie-bk1yc Yeah, I hear ya. I come from a "smoking family" too 🙄 ... Yes, I hear ya about the body being a temple for the Holy Spirit, that seems to resonate with me, and has done in the past. Thanks for the wisdom and encouragement! ... flipping ciggys, eh! Such little buggers man. But super encouraging to hear you've be delivered from them by fellowship with Christ!
Ah! Your mother right? Or it's Frielo?! 😄. For me it's my dad's side - and yes, visiting family in Italia, I can relate about those after dinner visits at the table 😊!
Food prep, sitting at the table, these aren’t the problems. I know, I battle this every minute of every day. It’s like no other addiction because you have to eat. Don’t have to smoke, drink alcohol, do drugs, boff like bunnies etc. So, what can we do? I’ve tried dieting, pills even surgery; lost 120 lbs twice! That’s still not the issue. It’s putting food in your mouth when you don’t need it. I know the problem and I know the answer lies in Jesus. That’s all I know.
Grace to you, I too struggle, yes Jesus is the answer but to be more specific, the answer is in what He says "deny yourself" this only possible in him.
Make a fist. Now looking at the top of your fist that is the amount of food we should only eat each meal. Never eat 3 hours before the gym and 1 hour after the gym
I have to disagree with you about not eating after the gym. Sometimes after I get done with the gym, I feel so depleted that I feel like I'm going to get sick or pass out and the two things that make me feel back to 100% are meat protein and sugar. Usually, something like a piece of chicken and a Coke or fruit smoothie make me feel better after the gym.
From what I understand is that blood goes to the stomach for digestion for around 3 or so hrs after you eat which hampers your work out. It's better to work out fasted and then refeed.
Addiction to food is real. Help is needed. 😢
There are good programs just not enough of them.
Don't want to hear this...but...some definite truth to this. Not the prep time but the overeating is a problem. We can work on that one.
My family always had dinner together and then sat around discussing our day and catching up. I don’t see what’s wrong with that. Plus my mom prepared wonderful meals with that awesome southern flare.
What he means by lingering at the table is getting seconds thrid's an so forth .
Like he said... "needless". Family bonding and fellowship is not needless.
That sounds exhausting.
I am Italian ! Epic !
My gluttony comes from constant grief as means of coping over the pain done to me and others.
I care too much about justice and good order.
Todd is Italian?? 😯
I don't think I've ever heard a convicting sermon on how we need to take care of our bodies. It isn't about vanity, but about longevity to continue to share the Gospel for as many years as possible.
Actually if you fast and pray like the LORD says, you don't want 3 meals a day, in fact eating light is the only way you'll eat
I'm stuck on the smoking not delivered and its get thrown in my face, ignoring the fact that I can fast for days, pray in the spirit and have words of prophecy. They disregard all their cellulite and triglycerides...
You can do it. I did. God can and will deliver you, try to go to the gym. When you workout and can't breath, it'll really wake you up.
Great thoughts. Thanks Todd.
When they’re putting addictive substances in our food it doesn’t help!
Todd Friel, oh yeah classic Italian name...
I definitely have a bad relationship with food😢
Food is a drug, an addiction and overeating (gluttony) A SIN like all other sins against one’s temple
Gluttony is sin. Needless eating & drinking is sin. We've cut down a lot. Waste of time, money, energy..... Live a fasted life. Let Holy Spirit lead us in all things.
Do all things to the glory of God even eating!!
I've been watching alot of episodes of my 600lb life lately. It's SHOCKING

I'm not sure that's what he meant. Another comment said he meant getting seconds and thirds.
Which bideo is that from you should put a related link to them
Get your spelling right. Disgusting
I dont have gluttony... but i do have greed with cigarettes... maybe when i stop gluttony will kick in.

I’ve never heard that before about not eating around gym time. Can you explain the reasoning for that?
From what I understand is that blood goes to the stomach for digestion for around 3 or so hrs after you eat which hampers your work out.
