This verse has been on my mind a lot lately. As a Christian, I know that I am under God's grace and that technically, all things are lawful for me. It's not a sin if I eat chocolate or chips or ice cream. BUT - what benefit am I really going to get out of those things?
The crazy part to me is that the brain reacts to sugar the SAME way it does to cocaine - they are both addictive. There have been scientific studies documenting this. As one who has been bought and redeemed, the only thing I need to be addicted to is Christ. We condemn the alcoholic, the smoker, the porn addict - but no one ever talks about the food addict. Why is that?
I write all this to say, I want everyone reading this blog to know that this is a personal journey for me and very much a spiritual one as much as it is a nutritional one. I'm on a journey to discover Christ more every day and to honor him with the beneficial foods he's created for us!
