Gluttony: Consuming that Leads to Emptiness

August 20, 2017 | David Speakman

Series: Seven Deadly Sins

Scripture: Isaiah 25:6-9; Isaiah 55:1-3, 6-7; Philippians 3:17-21

“A glutton is one who raids the icebox for a cure for spiritual malnutrition.”

—Frederick Buechner

 

“Where gluttony is there is no incarnation, no resurrection, no kingship, no humanity, no God, in short—no living Christianity. Instead we have only gnosticism, anarchy, and idolatry. As those of us who struggle with gluttony know, it ultimately leaves us alone, without hope, and bloated with discontent. And we were made for more than this. This is why God calls (and helps) us away from lives of gluttony—because we were made for more. We were made to be whole, embodying the creational proportionality that marks the kingdom of God. We were made to be shepherded, walking the path of beauty laid out for us by our King. And we were made for God, living not by bread alone, but by the fullness found in the One who feeds us with Himself.”

—Greg Thompson

 

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.”

—Matthew 5:6
