Weigh Down — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 03:58:00 +0000

Look again at Titus 2:11-12, which says that grace teaches us to say, “No” to any worldly passions: For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age. Again, stop projecting, for we ourselves are in need of reformation...

The Expectation of More

Weigh Down — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 03:31:00 +0000

Man-made rules from medicine, religion, science, philosophy, psychology, etc. do not work because they intuitively get you to focus on yourself—your favorite subject. People love the weekly counsel sessions where you pay someone to ask you questions about yourself and pay them to let you talk about yourself without changing the subject for one to two hours...

Let us start off looking at the typical dieter getting up in the morning. Once you decide on a diet, you have to check that particular diet’s list and select the right foods. At work, you talk about diets, which means foods...

Why Diets Will Never Work, Part V

Weigh Down — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 03:31:00 +0000

“Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch”... Man-made rules teach us to project rather than to look inward; to make the food change rather than the human changing...

Why Diets will Never Work, Part IV

Man-made rules...“they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence…” Diets do not get to the root problem—sensual desires. There is something about chewing and swallowing, chewing and swallowing; notice that overeaters often keep drinks beside them for sucking and swallowing or gum in their mouths...

.“These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.” Diets are man’s regulations telling you what to eat and drink and swallow...

Why Diets Will Never Work, Part II

Diets or man-made rules have “an appearance of wisdom,” but in actuality are not wise. Since the beginning of time, godless men have made up godless regulations—simply guessing at the solutions for problems but not consulting God, who actually is the Wisdom of the Ages...

Why Diets will Never Work, Part I

The temptation is strong for the U.S. diet industry to push special foods since that is the bulk of their sales; and for other weight loss programs, new diet drugs, exercise regimens, and surgeries, the income is in services. The industry brings in north of 60 billion dollars per year some of this spending going toward not only diet foods but diet sodas—and their celebrity supporters are paid millions...

Letting Go of Control

Weigh Down — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 03:59:00 +0000

Turning to God means that you are letting go of your control. In the past, you decided what you were going to eat and when you were going to eat it and when you were going to shop and what you were going to buy—and when you were going to say something and whatever it was you wanted to say, and you did not care about what anyone thought...

Man-Made Rules Do Not Work

Weigh Down — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 03:06:00 +0000

There are many reading this post whose dependency or unwanted habit is a substance other than food. If you will notice, somehow, someway, the dark lord of this world has worked in man-made regulations for cures in every generation that range from bloodletting using leeches to inversion therapy - hanging upside down...
