Diet Sin

Most of you know that I work in a deli. And I hope that most of you understand that deli meat doesn't come straight from Athena's olive tree. That crap's terrible for you. Everything we sell is loaded with either fat, salt, or preservatives (oftentimes, all three). One of the funniest things that I experience at my job is when customers want to know the fat content on a certain meat. They ask to see the nutrition facts on the back to see if the sodium content is too high.

I've learned that all these people have been through terrible life circumstances like heart attacks or strokes. Their doctors have told them that they need to change their diets, or they will die.

Event though they can run away from death by simply choosing a healthier diet, they choose to simply find "healthy" ways to eat what they ate before. Let me tell you. It doesn't work.

After considering how ridiculous these people are, I've realized that there are Christians that are the same way with sin. Even though they were saved, they don't want to completely give up their old lifestyles. They claim, "all things in moderation," and feel that if they simply sin less, they are in the clear. That is not what the word "repent" means. Repent means to turn 180 degrees away from your past life and towards Christ.

So if you are a Christian and you are just taking diet sin or sinlite, maybe you should realize that Christ died that we would be slaves to righteousness.

Romans 6:18 "and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness."

p.s. The NewChurch advertisement to the right is heresy. I do NOT endorse it.
