Sensuality

 “Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy.” (Romans 13:13)

What does "sensuality" mean in the Bible? If you look up the word online, you will see sensuality is commonly used today to simply refer to the enjoyment of physical pleasure. Thus, someone could get the idea that the Bible teaches that it is wrong to delight in physical pleasures. Is that what the Bible teaches? Is it wrong to delight in physical things? Learn more on my other blog where I have written a post on this word and concept: Sensuality

Gratitude and Gluttony

“God gave us food for our good. He made it delightful and profitable, giving joy and strength (Ps. 104:14-15, Acts 14:17) ... But as with all the gifts of God, man in his rebellion is able to use it in a sinful manner - to reject it, to idolize it, to abuse it. A proper use of food is governed by gratitude, but when gratitude is gone, one sinful abuse of food is that of gluttony, i.e. eating too much or with immoderate desire.”

To read more on this topic, head on over to my regular blog, For Christ's Kingdom, for the full post I wrote there about gratitude and gluttony:
