"Fat Preaching"

I believe preachers should do a better job taking care of their bodies, because caring for it is just as important taking care of thier spirit. In Paul's first letter to Timothy in chapter 4 he tells Timothy in the first sentence of verse 8 that bodily exercise profits a little, and today most preachers do not exercise at all. A preacher can also say in the same verse that Paul tells Timothy that Godliness is profitable for all things, which it is more important than bodily exercise. However in the NKJV in verse 7 of chapter 4 Pauls last sentence of that verse was exercise yourself toward godliness, and exercise is used as an action word. Exercise is putting forth your body into action, and 1 Timothy 4 mentions the word twice as an action verb and subject. Exercise is important, but it should not be our top priority. Being a follower of Christ is the most important priority of a believers life, but preachers would invest thier lives into gluttony and sedentary while following Christ until thier body shuts down to a heart attack, stroke, cancer, or any disease that comes with a sedentary life style. In 1st Corinthians 3:16-17 Paul tells the church in Corinth that thier bodies are a temple of God, and God will destroy them that defile thier temple. Gluttony and sedentary lifestyles are just as destructive to the body as drugs, alcohol, and sex outside of marriage.

I hope the next time preachers preach about ungodly addictions that they look at themselves first, before they preach to others about their ungodly addictions.
