Christians should be the HEALTHIEST & HAPPIEST people in the WORLD....But sadly that isn't the case. Everyone knows that carrying extra pounds doesn't make one HEALTHY or HAPPY...yet Christians carry alot more extra pounds than those who don't claim to be Christians.
This is REALLY a STUNNING article...at least it should be!
Why is it that Christians are much more overweight than Jews or those in Eastern Religions? Probably because so many Christians have fallen for the false teaching that it doesn't matter what you eat, just ask for God's blessing over it and somehow He will turn unhealthy food into healthy food. Well, if we are honest, we'll have to admit that just isn't happening.
The part that is the most SHOCKING to me is that it's the CLERGY, the Pastors and Ministers, who are the MOST OBESE! Shouldn't they be the ones who give the BEST REPRESENTATION of Health & Happiness? To me, this speaks loudly that there is very little SELF-CONTROL amongst the CLERGY.
Have you noticed how there seems to be an almost epidemic amongst CLERGY when it comes to sexual sin? The SAME LACK of Self-Control in APPETITE carries over into SEX.
Christians should be the LEADERS, the EXAMPLES of Health & Happiness, and ESPECIALLY the CLERGY!
