The following is a blogpost from a pastor of mine where I attended church in VA. It was refreshing to read his blogpost and hear a biblical perspective on food, discipline, and glorifying God.
“The goal is not to look like everyone else but rather to truly use your body as an instrument for how you glorify God and that means that it will look different for everyone involved. The point is to discipline our bodies for God’s glory to the measure that God has given us that physical ability.” -Nathan Smith (pastor at Heritage Baptist Church)
