Touched on this in my first post but I think I can make the principle a little clearer.
The prevailing philosophy is, if you are a responsible adult, a little is okay:
1. Donuts
2. Gambling
3. Alcohol
4. Adultery
5. Yelling in anger
6. Pornography
7. Pride
I'll stop there, but the list goes on. There are plenty more in the category for which I chose donuts to represent.
My philosophy and what I am here to tell you is that if it is a bad thing, don't do it at all. If it is not a good thing, do not do it at all. Do only good things.
If I am really good and I eat good food all week long and so I "reward myself" by eating one donut, say once a week, what does that tell you (let's have collards represent my wholesome foods)?
It tells you that since the donut is my Reward I must love donuts more than collards.
I love gambling more than exercise and discipline.
I love adultery more than my wife.
I love porn more than good moods and soaring in spirit.
I love pride more than the spirit of the Lord and my brother.
I love letting myself go more than happiness and peace and my brother.
I love alcohol more than seeing straight.
THE POINT IS LOVE COLLARDS MORE THAN DONUTS! NEVER DO DONUTS AT ALL. COLLARDS ARE BETTER! REWARD YOURSELF WITH COLLARDS AND FEET THAT FEEL GREAT!
Thank You.
