We all need help in this area...

I've hear it said that America is the one of the fattest nations. Dietitians say it's because of our diet. They say we

• eat too many processed and fast foods
• eat too much high fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners
• eat too many refined carbohydrates

What does this have to do with being a Christian? A LOT!

A lot of people are spiritually unhealthy because of their spiritual diet.

"And Jesus answered him, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God." (Luke 4:3 KJV)

Fact: Your diet determines what you're capable of doing. If you don't have enough meat or protein rich foods, you'll be hungry. You'll feel week and you won't be able to accomplish what you need to do. You'll be sluggish.

If you don't take in the word of God, you will be spiritually hungry, you won't be able to accomplish what you need to do. You'll be sluggish.

It's not enough to just listen to a sermon, or even read a blog, like this one. This is the equivalent of fast food.

You need to spend time preparing your meal and take the time to eat it and digest it!

Sermons and blogs, like this one, can be a good starting point.

Here's a side note: Most Pastors spend hours preparing what they want to share. They usually give you 20-40% of what they learn. If you spend a moment in the word of God, you can uncover at least 20-40% more if you study the topic they talk about yourself!

Let's struggle to change our spiritual diet.
