The story behind the idea
Moments in your life when you decide you need to be treating your body differently. An unmistakable flash point where you realize that if you don't change the way you're using or abusing your body, you will fall well short of the life that you could have lived. This can be as simple as seeing a weight on the scale or a medical diagnosis.
What stands out
There's a drug rehabilitation center, a 10-month program in Tyler, and we've had great success in teaching the gospel there and converting people to Christ and welcoming them into our local fellowship.
Why it matters
God's grace and presence and involvement in your life, his love for you and desire to bless you and use your life includes every part of your life. In that way, even physical flashpoints are just a subset of the spiritual.
A faithful way forward
I love how all of this begins to come together for the glory of God if we're looking for it. When you start combining things that are important to you, they become even more important. Specifically, as we've said, introducing elements of your relationship with God.
Put it into practice
Also, really cool side benefit is it kind of turns out that self-control is contagious when you prove you can do it in one thing, you start doing it in other things. For me, I started initiating a Facebook fast for a certain number of hours per day.
Take the idea with you.
