In fitness, enthusiasts work towards the release of endorphins. In the junk food industry, processors add the perfect amount of sugar — called technically “bliss” point — to dazzle your taste buds and addict you like cocaine.
It’s your choice of pleasure — the easy, fattening road or the hard-work and sweat road that helps you live longer.
Such is Christianity. You either go for easy gratification that ultimately destroys your soul. Or you pray, read your Bible, resolve people issues and continue in church — and you get soul healthiness that is emotionally sensational!
As I browse blogs, I see so many that hover around the
metaphorical pillars of processed foods: sugar, salt and food. They rave about stuff that’s toxic to your heart. A few blogs take the high road and promote happiness through spiritual exercise.
What I talk about here is praying, praying more and experiencing the thrill of answered prayers. . If you’ve never felt this exhiliration, you’ve got to try it. But think of it like the gym. If you do just a little, the results may be a bit short. If you pour yourself into it, the results are — well, ripped.
true, too true!

I mentioned you in my latest post. PUSH… Pray Until Something Happens ๐ Great post thank you.
That’s good! Keep praying until something happens! Awesome!
I love the last line. I love this post.

So true, great post, thank you!

Yes, what we eat can imprison us into pain and despair!

Iโve recently switched my food blog over to be self-hosted which I hope will make it more user-friendly in the future. As a result, if you were following Canโt Stay Out of the Kitchen via email, WordPress, or using RSS feeds through Google Reader or some other way, you are no longer subscribed. If you wish to continue receiving future posts from my blog you will need to re-subscribe. Sorry for the inconvenience, Teresa.
Why are all my friends switching over????
hahahah, I really had to laugh about the 6 pack there!!! I had to show everyone here.
it’s one of those “overnight” results! hahahaha
Don’t normally respond as I get your blog on my smart phone but this morning I’ve got time to put my computer on. Thank you for blogs that every day inspire me and keep in hanging in there.
Today’s was especially needed as I’ve got a people issue in church to sort and wanted to runaway but your encouragement will keep me there.
Blessings to you ๐
I guess people are quitting churches in droves because they don’t want to deal with the tension of working things out with others. ๐ฆ
Pray and ask God to help you!
Great post, Mike. I absolutely love the six-pack! Blessings!! Diane
It is the new, overnight, fabulous way to get a six pack!
Wow, the pressure’s on. I hope my nutritional blog fits into the sensible and ‘high road’ category?! ๐
Seeing that first photo displaying fats and sugar is like comparing sin to a Christian existence. I had no desire whatsoever to indulge in those foods. Finding true Christian, faithful living is like finding true healthy living. I have no desire to go back into a sinful lifestyle, anymore than I’d desire to eat gross fatening foods! It’s not tempting me. Thanks for the great blog!
Hey no pressure! I’m always just trying to improve, not cutting down on anyone. ๐
Oh I said that with tongue firmly planted in cheek, I hope you know! If you knew my sense of humor you’d have no worries! I very much enjoy your posts!! ๐
Ok, I just ate a sugary, gooey donut and felt guilty about every bite, and then I came in here and read your post.
How did you know?
If I gave in to the craving for God the way I do to the craving for carbs, I’d be moving mountains!
THAT is a powerful observation. I guess it was Moody who promised to be the man that God could use when he heard someone’s quote saying “The world still has not seen what God can do with a man who is fully submitted to His will.” Help us Jesus!
Steer clear of those donuts! They make the tongue happy but the body depressed!
So true. They also make the mind depressed, once the deed is done. Not worth it.
Moody was a true man of God. I’ve read a couple of different biographies, and always come away impressed with his humility and dedication to be fully submitted to God’s will. We need more men like him.
I love donuts too but try to flee them…
๐ “Resist the devil (donut) and he will flee from you”?
mmmm, i think i need to flee from the donut.
that is the flesh tempting me, not the devil.

Mmm, sweet stuff, chocolate- so my weekness. Great points about spirtuality!
I like chocolate too!
