What about physical fitness?

We celebrate and fellowship over food.

The Lord is coming soon, no need to take care of ourselves.

Priorities, should be on praying, fasting , winning souls, not going to the gym.

These are the common reasons.

I have always maintained that people that come out of the world and into the church can be set free from the drugs and alcohol. But once they are in the church they find another addiction and it usually ain't an addiction to prayer and Bible reading either. It is either food, and heavy drinks like coffee and whatever. Often times the addiction goes beyond intake and goes to an addiction of bashing people and judging. I think that can be an addiction too. It is all sad

Almost happened to me!

That is true too. I have also always contended that when a person kicks one addiction, no matter how horrible like drugs and such, they always go to another addiction. Often time the 'new' addiction is not near as sinful or harmful as drugs and drinking, but often times that 'new' addiction is much stronger and harded to break. My brother-in-law beat crystal meth but can not kick dipping tobacco, which he started long after the meth was done with.
