We read and talked about Romans 6. We talked about how overeating isn't really necessarily a SIN, but that God does want us to be good stewards of all the gifts God has given us - including our bodies. So overeating is certainly not doing God's will.
Probably the coolest part of the discussion of Romans 6 was what A read from the notes in her Bible:
Our discussion went far and wide, including sharing some super recipes. Hopefully folks will add them here as comments!Here Paul emphasizes that we need no longer live under sin's power. God does not take us out of the world or make us robots - we will still feel like sinning, and sometimes we will sin. The difference is that before we were saved we were slaves to our sinful nature, but now we can choose to live for Christ (see Galatians 2:20).
We finally had wifi at our meeting, so were able to take a tour of MyFitnessPal.com and discussed a slideshow of Frighteningly Fattening Fall Foods.
What did you take home from tonight's meeting?
Sometimes it's not easy to choose what is best for our body, but with prayer and support of our group, we have the chance to listen to the little voice that says - Do I really need that, is that what is best for the body that God has trusted me to care for?
