Your article has been a source of great encouragement. God has been constantly speaking to me on this subject lately.

1Co 9:27 No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

Paul has always been one person who lead by his egsample. In Christian evangelical circles a person who smokes is considered a great sinner. But the principle that makes smoking sin is that it destroys our body which is the Temple og the Holy Spirit. Then this principle is also applicable to the food we eat. God has been disciplining me in the area of eating. Do I over eat , do I eat what can lead to diseases , do I eat because it is attractive to my senses or becuse my body needs it.

The Church today needs more Pauls and may we all submit to the Lord in this area of self discipline.

Augustine
