Yesterday, the Office of Reading spurred a sharp rebuke aimed at St. Paul's letter to Timothy. Today, again, the Office has inspired a post. I may not be advancing spiritually, but I am paying attention. In 1 Tim 4: 1-5, Paul warns us of following teachers of error. I'm specifically looking at demons who teach people to turn away from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by believers. Everything God created is good; nothing is to be rejected when it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by God's word and by prayer.
That's T.O.P.S.' philosophy. Everything in moderation. Do not deprive yourself to the extent that you are starving. We eat mindfully. We practice portion control. We eat all the food groups and do not eliminate carbohydrates, or dairy, or red meat, or meat at all.
TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) is the short name for TOPS Club, Inc., the original nonprofit, noncommercial network of weight-loss support groups and wellness education organization. TOPS offers tools and programs for healthy living and weight management, with exceptional group fellowship and recognition. Established in 1948 to champion weight-loss support and success, we've helped millions of people live healthier lives.
Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts.
