Spiritual Lessions On Losing Weight Without Killing Yourself

I recently have lost over 50 pounds
and in the process have learned a
few lessons that seem to cross over
to our spiritual lives. The
Scripture says, "Bodily training is
of some value." I found some value
in weight loss that crosses over
into "sin-loss" and I want to share
some of those principles with you.
Dick Epps of Moody Bible Institute
recently wrote, that he was
impressed by the similarity
"between physical and spiritual
diets. Indeed we can learn from
both."

It seems appropriate to look at
weight loss as a metaphor to getting
sin out of our life because it is
something that most of us can relate
to.
Consider the similarities to both
sin and weight gain:
It is so easy to over-eat and be lazy in exercise. Sins is easy to engage in.
Sin and fat both tend to show up in one area or another.
It is embarrassing to deal with fat and sin.
People want a quick fix to fat and sin issues.
They are areas we want to overcome but often don't know where to begin.
My goal is to give you some practical,
biblical advice on how to overcome
these obstacles to godliness and
good physical health.
