I Can't Believe I Ate The Whole Thing - Gluttony (2 of 9)
Jim Henry
Proverbs 25:27-28
Proverbs 25:27-28 It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to seek one's own honor. 28 Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.
Charlie Shed has a book called ''Devotion For Dieters'', and in it he has a letter that has been written to him.

How many of you have ever heard a sermon on gluttony? Hold up your hand. How many of you have never heard one on gluttony? Hold up your hand. Some of you didn't vote. Well, if you haven't, you are going to hear one today. I have never preached a whole message o ...
