What I eat matters. I have a plethora of food allergies and intolerances and if I eat something that does not agree with my body, I know it immediately. Either my gut, my tongue, or my mental health reacts to the non-tolerated foods.
These immediate reactions to certain foods has brought new meaning to the verse in Revelation 3:15-16 about us being lukewarm.
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
For me, those foods are like a poison and my body does not tolerate them. For God, if we are lukewarm, we are like a poison to His church and He does not tolerate it.
My encouragement to you for Food & Family on Fridays is to be hot or cold - preferably hot! May you be on fire for God and not lukewarm.
