The stress of living up to such high standards will most likely kill most Pentecostals.

Long before anything else.

It shows.....

I just eat it in moderation, (Moderation)...

There we go again...

Moderation can be ok - I am sure moderation varies from person to person - although I stay away from pork period - it's just gross to me

I have ordered some special glazed ham for Christmas eve dinner.

There is this awesome store near us.

It is the best tasting on the planet...

We all have our likes....

My wife will not touch any seafood...

how is calling something like "smoking" wrong....or sinful...picking on it?

I believe we can become way to focused on keeping this body...this body will not see heaven....this body will not last forever and is made to fall apart. This does not mean we are to speed this process...but rather that no matter what we do...its still going to happen.

Even by eating all that good stuff, it is still very important to monitor your ph balance.

ph must be maintained in the rage of 7.35 to 7.45 in order to maintain optimum health.

ph balance is very easy and inexpensive to monitor, just get some ph paper from any drugstore and follow the instructions.

Keeping a proper ph balance is , in my opinion, the single most important you can do to keep yourself healthy.

I think the debt that most Christians are in will cause just as much speed up as a other things mentioned.

Get out of debt and maybe you will live longer..

right. your arent trying to justify smoking.

Smokers arent being picked on. they are struggling with sin. And if they dont find victory, thier struggle will likely kill them.
