GENERAL
- I am a serious person about the Lord. This is a
serious lesson. I will try to start off on a humorous
note. "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread."
Earline and me rush in where preachers fear to tread.
We have discussed starting an organization called
"Cowards for Christ". We could even have a chapter
called "Cowardly Preachers". We could have millions of
members. Now back to a serious vein. Paul said that he
declared the whole truth to the people in his day.
That is what we should do in these modern days.
How many of
you believe that you should avoid the hard sayings of
the Bible? I want to talk to you about an area that
most preachers shun. It is hard on men of God as well
as women in general. I don't have the preachers'
problems about your leaving the church if your ears
are not tickled or quit giving to the church if your
toes have been stepped on. One of the hard sayings of
the Bible is that drunkenness and gluttony are the
same! You will either love or hate us.
AMERICANS
MUST CHANGE THEIR EATING HABITS! - Jeanne
Paul, Nurse Anesthesiologist, sent us the following
horrible statistics about illnesses that are happening
to modern men, women and children because of the way
they eat. Do you live to eat or eat to live? You can
not eat like the Devil and live like the Lord.
1. 80
million Americans are overweight. 30 million are obese
(20 % above ideal weight). 30 to 50 % of these are
Christians. 50 % of males over 30 and 75 % of females
over 40 are overweight.
2. Some
chronic conditions comparing normal to overweight
people follow:
Cholesterol
gallstones are 300 % more frequent.
Toxemia of
pregnancy is 700 % higher.
Infection
of urine collecting part of the kidney is 500 %
greater.
Diabetes
Mellitus is 400 % more common.
There are
more maternal deaths.
Infections
are 200 % more frequent.
Postoperative
mortality is 250 % greater.
High blood
pressure is found 250 % more frequently when you reach
age 45.
3. Over
consumption of meat, fats, sugar, cholesterol, salt
and alcohol have been linked with a higher incidence
of six of the ten leading causes of death in the U.S.:
heart disease, cancer, strokes, diabetes,
arteriosclerosis and high blood pressure.
4. Turn of
the century Americans were eating 4 pounds of sugar a
year; today we consume 130 pounds per person per year
- some statistics put it as high as 200 pounds because
of the different type sugars being added to most
prepared foods.
5. Readers
Digest, September, 1987 stated that Americans eat 3
million gallons of ice cream per day and 3,000 tons of
candy per day.
6. 20 % of
the American diet is now sugar. At the turn of the
century there were very few diabetics; now there are
10 million with 600,000 new cases annually.
7. 20 years
ago they never heard of hyperactive children; now
there are 1 million.
8. Many
pre-school children have rotted-off teeth.
9. At the
turn of the century, people died most often from
bacterial-type disease. Now they are dying from
degenerative disease: diabetes, cancer, heart disease
and strokes. Then 1 in 13 had cancer, now 1 in 3 and
by 1990, 1 in 2. The age of chronic disease onset is
much earlier.
10. The
annual death rate from hardening of the arteries and
degenerative heart disease in the U.S. for men age 50
to 59 is the highest in the world. Many accident
victims and young men killed in Vietnam had the
arteries of 55 to 60 year olds. The most common
surgery in men under 55 is coronary by-pass surgery:
2 to 5 %
die on the operating table.
42 % are
back in two years for more heart surgery.
47 % are
dead in 5 years.
11. There
are now more children born with plugged arteries and
children having heart attacks by age 5 to 6 years.
12. In 1912
the first heart attack was reported. Now 1 million
Americans have heart attacks per year and spend 5
billion dollars trying to recover. Heart disease is
not world wide. South Africa has to import American
doctors to teach them how to treat tourists who have
heart attacks.
13.
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company has shown that a
man 45 years old, who increases his weight by 25
pounds over standard weight, reduces his life
expectancy by 25 %, i.e. he dies at age 60 instead of
75.
14. Every
pound of fat you add to your body forms and must
nourishapproximately 3/4 mile of blood vessels and
flush them with blood every 5/6th of a second. The
extra burden on the heart has statistal results as
follows:
70 % of the
new cases of hypertension are directly attributed to
weight gain.
For every
10 pounds a man puts on, his blood pressure raises 6.5
points systolic (top number).
30 million
Americans have high-blood pressure.
15. The
American Cancer Society says that at least 60 % of
cancer is diet related. 90 % of colon cancer could be
avoided with fiber. Breast cancer can be greatly
reduced by lowering sugar, fat and caffeine
consumption.
16. The
American Heart Association suggests the percent of
calories from fat must not exceed 25 to 30 %. The
average for Americans now is 40 % and some think much
higher.
17. People
are misled by the polyunsaturates in margarines and
oils. You must look for hydrogenated on the label
which is simply eating plastic. The only way the body
can handle this is to deposit it in the arteries.
18. 30 % of
American women have osteoporosis and that is a world
record. Many factors are involved such as low calcium
intake, birth control pills, less weight-bearing
exercise and higher consumption of phosphoric acid (
the fizz in pops). The onset of this disease is much
earlier after the 30's and even some men are
developing it.
GLEN
MILLER - LAKE HAMILTON BIBLE CAMP - Glen
Miller, the leader of Lake Hamilton Bible Camp, is
writing a booklet about what the Bible says about the
food we eat. This lesson is primarily about how we
eat.
EARLINE'S
TESTIMONY - The following is a summary of
her testimony:
1. After
casting out the demon, "I Like To Eat", I told God how
I had tried dieting and I knew that was hopeless.
2. I was
told obedience is better than sacrifice, and I knew
how to eat but was not doing it. Plenty of fresh
fruits and vegetables, not much meat and very little
sweets is the basis of a proper diet.
3. Asked if
I'd do what I was told, I assured God that I would. He
said that food can be divided into two groups: God's
and Devil's. Devil's foods include sweets to excess,
junk food, and liquids which are mostly empty
calories.
4. It's not
bad manners not to eat sweets or any other food when
you know your body has not used up the last meal. I
was intelligent enough to know if I truly needed food.
5. Here are
the rules in summary:
a. Eat
fruits and vegetables; include leafy greens.
b. Do not
eat much meat - three or four servings weekly.
c. Don't
eat unless you truly need to.
d. Don't
let others stuff you.
e. Seldom
eat sweets.
f. Almost
never eat junk food.
g. Remember
those whose God is their belly.
h. Cook all
foods simply.
i. Use
little fat and cut fat from the meat.
6. Earline
lost about seventy pounds and weighed less than she
did when we got married and after she had two
children. I got a new wife!
CONCLUSION
- You can be healed by God or cured by a doctor. You
can mentally discipline your body. Your demons can be
cast out in the name of Jesus. You can ask God to help
you control your weight. There are no excuses
(mentally, physically or spiritually) for being
overweight in the Bible!
