God's Nutrition List!
Steve Wagers
Colossians 3:14-16
1. It doesn't take long to discover that we live in a day where much emphasis is placed on diet, nutrition and physical fitness.

* If no one sees you eat it, it has no calories
* If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, they will cancel each other out.
* Calories don't count if you eat with someone and you both eat the same amount.
* Food taken for medicinal purposes doe ...
