He does.\u00a0 What I wanted to do, as I wrote, and what I would encourage people to do, is to really sit down and say, \"Okay, what does God say about food?\u00a0 What does God say about eating?\u00a0 What does He say about\u2014for instance\u2014in Deuteronomy 8, when He took the children of Israel and He said, \u2018I have let you go hungry.\u00a0 I have fed you with manna so that I might see what's in your heart\u2019?\"\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou see, I want to look at food the way God looks at food.\u00a0 Food, in itself, again, is God's good gift.\u00a0 We find it all through Scripture that\u2014look at Jesus, after the Resurrection, even\u2014He's cooking food for His disciples.\u00a0 Eating is not wrong in itself; but I just have to have the scriptural view\u2014the biblical view\u2014of food and eating\u2014that it is a good gift, given from a good God; but it must not be my god.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 It can't be central to your life.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Elyse:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Absolutely.\u00a0 When I am sitting in church on Sunday morning and I catch my heart wandering away to, \u201cWhat shall I eat?\u201d then, I need to stop and say, \"Lord, help me to discipline my thought and my mind now and to focus back in on You and what You are saying to me.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 This is the part of the Christian life that is bothersome to me because, the older I get in Christ, the more aware of how many idols I can have\u2014how many propensities toward sin that I naturally gravitate towards.\u00a0 It's why I think Galatians, Chapter 5, becomes increasingly important in my life, and should be important in the life of every believer\u2014where the Apostle Paul contrasts the fruit of the Spirit with the deeds of the flesh.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe deeds of the flesh are evident.\u00a0 It talks about all kinds of\u2014there's over ten of them in there\u2014idolatry, drunkenness, immoral behavior, sensuality, division, strife, jealousy, envy.\u00a0 We all know our flesh all too well; but Paul says that the fruit of the Spirit is evident.\u00a0 It's love, joy, peace, patience, discipline\u2014it's the ability to be disciplined by the Holy Spirit to say, \u201cNo,\u201d to those choices we used to be enslaved to.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, I'm still not doing that perfectly.\u00a0 I think the older I get, quite honestly, I'm just amazed.\u00a0 I think I understand and can identify more with Paul's statement, \"There is no good thing within me that dwells.\"\u00a0 You know what?\u00a0 I'm constantly\u2014what was your quote you used earlier\u2014that the human heart is constantly looking for an idol?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Elyse:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Manufactures idols.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 If we don't have one;

but once you've been going down the road for a while\u2014you see, that's when the motivation of our heart to just lose weight\u2014which is not, in itself, a godly motive\u2014will become evident. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI know a number of people who will say, \"Okay, well, I'm going to eat this way because I have 12 pounds to lose,\u201d or, \u201cI've got 50 pounds to lose.\u00a0 I'm going to eat this way until I lose that weight, but then I'm going to go back to my old ways of eating,\u201d or, \u201cI'm going to go back to my old ways of eating and just be careful I don't gain weight.\u201d\u00a0 You see, it's not an issue of, \u201cHow much weight have you lost?\u201d \u2014it's an issue of, in your heart, are you now worshiping your new body or are you worshiping the Lord? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou see, we're constantly being pulled, again, by our idols.\u00a0 Maybe the idol of gluttony is being replaced by the idol of vanity.\u00a0 So, \u201cI'm happy now because I've lost weight.\u201d\u00a0 It's good to lose weight, for the Lord's sake, but I want to develop a way of eating that is always God-centered\u2014that is always focused on, \u201cWhat does the Lord want me to do in this situation?\u201d\u00a0 Then, if I lose weight or if my weight stabilizes or whatever, I'm not going to be worried about it because what I weigh is not the point\u2014except, of course, as it would impact my health. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 If this is about getting to the world\u2019s standard of what your body should look like, then you\u2019re starting in the wrong place;
