Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has lost 110 pounds. Read about it here. Why did he do it?
"If my body belonged to the Lord, I was not following the design of the Designer," said the governor.
It is a matter of the divine ownership of the body, said Huckabee.
"I was living in a way that made my body unfit as a temple where He might live. It was not only unhealthy. It was sinful," said Huckabee.
Ah, yes, gluttony. One of the seven deadly sins, yet largely ignored as a spiritual issue in today's culture. But it is. Our weight, like our sex lives and integrity and attitude, is a reflection of our obedience to God.
The worst part about the sin of gluttony is that it is - usually - out there for all the world to see. It's difficult to hide 100 extra pounds.
