“Therefore, as you seek to know God, there isn’t a need to dabble in lots of different religions or make up one that makes Him more “modern and current.” Basically, God’s Word needs no revision. And the commandments aren’t like the constitution: amending them to fit with the times isn’t necessary.”

“The physical state of being overweight has the potential to carry more shame with it than any other sin. In fact, I would venture to say that the depth of it far surpasses what a cheat, liar, alcoholic, or adulterer may experience when they finally wake up, repent, and begin to set out to live a better life. You’d never see one of these people wearing a T-shirt that says “I’m an Ex-Thief” or “Cocaine Rocked My World.” Yet someone that has taken poor care of their body will wear their old sin long after they have let it go. So, if losing weight and walking strong are things you want to do, you’ll need to let go of shame. Again, knowing who God is and how He sees you is key, but if you can’t learn to lay down your pride after you have repented, shame will be your constant struggle. This is by far the hardest part of the journey to walking with Him each day.”
