Children in our country are suffering from obesity and its related disorders at alarming rates. They are taking medications for hypertension and Type II diabetes, which only occurred in adults a generation ago. Some of them are even dying. The Bible clearly commands us to train our children in the way that they should go. This applies to teaching them to honor Christ with their bodies by making healthy food choices. 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." Likewise, the Bible teaches that our bodies are temples, which is defined in Scripture as a house or dwelling, of the Holy Spirit and commands us to honor God with our bodies because Jesus bought us at the price of His life. Consequently, teaching your children to eat and drink for God's glory in order to maintain the Lord's house (temple) should be part of how your household serves the Lord (Jeremiah 30:17). Teach them now that the Holy Spirit is not pleased when His home is kept in disrepair.
