When this writer gets up every weekday morning at 5:00 a.m., preparing myself to go to the workplace, I immediately start to fix myself a healthy breakfast consisting of fruit, eggs, turkey bacon (without any fat), whole wheat toast and orange juice. Research tells us that a healthy breakfast is the most important meal of the day.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, for many families living in our fast-paced society, pop-tarts play a large part in their breakfast cuisine. Pop-tarts have virtually no nutritional value, but are mostly made up of starches and sugars (and we wonder why adults and kids are hyper and obese!).<\/p>\n
The same holds true in the spiritual realm. The spiritual part of us cannot long exist on the non-nutritional humanist,Im ok, youre ok philosophy,or the all roads lead to heaven denominational teaching.<\/p>\n
Dear reader, we have to ingest the pure milk of the word<\/em><\/strong> (1 Corinthians 3:2; 1 Peter 2:1-2) as well as the meat<\/em><\/strong> that God’s word has to offer (Hebrews 5:12-14 ASV; cf. 1 Corinthians 2:1-6 ASV; 1 Corinthians 14:20 ASV), so that the spiritual part of our being remains healthy at all times.<\/p>\n Just as a healthy body has a healthy immune system to help fight off dangerous viruses and various diseases, so our spiritual man has to have a healthy immune system, in order to successfully fight off the carnal evils of this world (2 Corinthians 10:1-6; Ephesians 6:10-18; cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11).<\/p>\n Brethren and friends, we cant spiritually run on pop-tarts! We have to run on every word that proceeds from the mouth of God<\/em><\/strong> (Matthew 4:4; cf. Deuteronomy 8:3; Psalm 19:7-11). This spiritually nutritious food will allow us to successfully run the Christian race, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith<\/em><\/strong> (Hebrews 12:1-2 NASB).<\/p>\n Only then can we say along with the faithful apostle Paul at the end of our earthly journey, For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure is come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all them that have loved his appearing<\/em><\/strong> (2 Timothy 4:6-8 ASV).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When this writer gets up every weekday morning at 5:00 a.m., preparing myself to go to the workplace, I immediately start to fix myself a healthy breakfast consisting of fruit, eggs, turkey bacon (without any fat), whole wheat toast and orange juice.
