“Numerous Christians do not know how to glorify God in their eating and drinking. They do not eat and drink simply to keep their body fit for the Lord's use but indulge to satisfy their personal desires. We should understand that the body is for the Lord and not for ourselves; hence we should refrain from using it for our pleasure. Food ought not to hinder our fellowship with God since it is to be taken purely to preserve the body in health.” - Watchman Nee.
1 Cor 3:16-17 (ESV): “Do you not know that you are God's
temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?
If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple
is holy, and you are that temple.”
Pro 23:2 (CEV): “Don’t go and stuff yourself! That would be
just the same as cutting your throat.”
“I believe that gluttony is as much a sin in the sight of
God as drunkenness.” - Charles Spurgeon.
