The Bible is one of God’s great blessings to us, as He has given it to let us know Him and how we may be reconciled to Him.But such a weighty gift requires a weighty approach to it, and unfortunately, that approach isn’t always taken.It’s easy to get in the habit of cherry picking Bible verses, ignoring their context so we can twist them into the meaning we want them to have.

There’s been a bit of a controversy brewing in certain circles recently about the matter of gluttony and obesity. CREC pastor Doug Wilson fielded a question on it for his Ask Doug series, and his answer yielded no small backlash.To be clear, this discussion is not relevant just because of Wilson.This is a society-wide issue. According to CDC estimates, 40% of Americans are obese, and 70% are overweight. This problem plagues both men and women, both the young and the old, and people of all different races.It’s also especially an issue for us, because the church certainly isn’t showing the world a better way. The most recent data shows that there is no measurable difference in weight management between those who attend church and those who don’t.So, is gluttony a sin that Christians commit?jackwilkie.co This is a public episode.
