They also like showing off, grabbing all they can, fighting for their rights and bossing anybody who'll give them half a chance.

  • 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 hinder our fellowship with God since it is to be taken purely to preserve the body in health.

    Watchman Nee (2006). “Journeying Towards the Spiritual: A Digest of the Spiritual Man in 42 Lessons”, p.210, Christian Fellowship Publishers
