Amen, Dolli. There was a young man in my town who ran marathons and always made a show of his vanity and pride by jogging around town. Well, that man died at the age of 26 after getting run over by a combine. Meanwhile, I regularly eat barbecue and Big Macs and rarely exercise, and I just turned 43. I'm a Christian, he wasn't; I'm alive, he's dead and in Hell.
My aunt was another health nut. She was always on this diet or that, but never got her nutrients from THE LORD. She died of an aneurysm at 65, about the average American life expectancy at the time. Did her obnoxious eating habits extend her life one bit? Not at all. Did they save her soul? Certainly not!
The lesson is clear. Only Jesus saves (John 14:6), not exercise, not trendy diets, not eating "healthy" food, not going to the doctor, and not taking medicine, or any other atheist foolishness. Prayer (James 5:16) is the only medicine that we need, for through God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26).
