The "Unmentionable" Sin

Gluttony.


I love food. I said it. I love it a lot. My physique currently shows that.

If there is one thing that I have been convicted of in the last few months more than any other, it is that food is my comfort idol.

When I get upset, sad, depressed, anxious, joyful, or any other (insert your) emotion, I run to food to help.

NO MORE!

I have too often run to my false Savior of Ice Cream, or Cheese Fries, or McDonalds instead of the One I know who does provide comfort and joy. I will now from this day forth, with the power of the Spirit, work to remove this idol from my life.

Will you help me?

I'm wit' ya on that one.

I'm checking out Made to Crave, http://madetocrave.org/ after hearing the author on FotF.

Replacing the craving for food (and other...) with craving for God.

Here are the Focus episodes:
