What’s Wrong with Dieting?

I once heard a sadly accurate definition of “Diet.” A diet is a period of starvation preceding a gain of 10 pounds.

Though these articles really aren’t concerned with weight loss, the illustration provided by this definition is simply too good not to use to make today’s point. If we are going to stick with our resolutions and spiritual commitments, we need to learn to Establish behaviors not byproducts. Keep reading to find out why.

Great Things I’ve Read

January 13, 2017 by Edwin Crozier Leave a Comment

As I’ve always said, “Original just means forgetting who I got it from.” I’ve forgotten who I first heard that from. Actually, no I haven’t. Harold Comer was the first person I ever heard say that. But apparently a lot of my friends forgot they heard that from him, because I hear it repeated frequently. But I digress.

be RESOLVED: Introduction

be RESOLVED

Week two of 2017. How are you doing on your resolutions?

Jim Gaffigan’s take on resolutions to work out seems to be the norm for most of us on just about any resolution.

I’m one of those people whenever I do work out, I immediately have grand plans. You know: “I’m going to work out every day.” And then the next day I’m like, “Well, not every day. I gotta let my muscles breathe a little. I’ll work out every other day.” And then the next day I’m like, “Nah, I’m happy with the way I look. I don’t want to get caught up in that beauty culture.”

We’ve all heard of Christians, even preachers or pastors, who commit what seem like heinous sins. We are certain they should know better. But they’ve fallen. How on earth can they commit that sin?

But this is the wrong question. Read on to find out why.

Lies Christians Believe: I’m More Spiritual than Every Other Christian

April 20, 2011 by Edwin Crozier 2 Comments

A friend of mine once said, “I’m an egomaniac with an inferiority complex.” At first, I was confused, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized I could say the same thing. Therefore, it will not surprise you that the father of lies can trip me up by getting me to believe two contradictory lies at the exact same time. I bet he can do the same for you. As we noticed last week, Satan wants you to believe that every other Christian is more spiritual than you causing you to give up. At the same time, he will also try to get you to believe that you are more spiritual than every other Christian. Here’s how.
