Fat & Sassy

The physical therapist assigned to help me strengthen my core is very knowledgeable. I am impressed with how much knowledge this person has on the subject, particularly the spine. Interestingly, this person is obese and their core is much larger and injurious to their spine than my situation. Clearly a person can have knowledge, even expertise, and not put into practice and live the life style that they regularly advocate.

The physical therapist's vast knowledge and apparent lack of will to apply it to the their own life is sorta like Christianity in the west. Western Christianity has never been more sophisticated, organized, and wealthy, yet never so powerless- look at the evidence.

Amazingly, we have made a religion of knowing the Bible while not living according to it's mandate and by it's exapmle. We make great boasts about believing it literally yet walk in the most incredible unbelief of spiritual reality. We pursue "mammon" just as vigorously as we do our own glory when God declared that we cannot serve both God and mammon.

I am amazed at how similar the modern Christian aristocracy is to the ancient Jewish aristocracy....... you know the Pharisees, and for those of you who deny spiritual reality yet take the Scriptures literally, the Sadducees.
