Are the pastors of our churches in America, in general, neglecting to address the obesity issue that our country is challenged with?
My answer would be yes, otherwise research studies would not consistently show that people who attend church regularly are more obese than people who do not attend church.
But, I believe that there’s a bigger issue. (No pun intended) I think that church leadership has a responsibility to make the health of its members an intentional focus – a priority. Since our physical bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, pastors should make caring for our bodies – our health – a priority. 1 Corinthians 6:19
I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read my recent blog about this on the Christian Post – Obesity in the Church. It’s Time for Pastors to Make a Resolution.
Great blog Dale!
