Christ-based Weight Management (CBWM),
What is It?
The growing popularity of NACCBC’s Christ-based Weight
Management program calls for a brief description of the program, and why it is
so powerful. When persons become
aware of the successes, they naturally ask, “What does it involve?”
A response that it is “fasting” is an extremely unfortunate and
inaccurate portrayal of the program.
The program is based on dynamic Biblical truths concerning food’s
origin and disposition, the digestive system, and Christ-based empowerment.
The focus of the program emulates Jesus and His categorization of food.
Clearly, all food for our physical health is not natural food.
Nevertheless, natural caloric principles are also employed along with
medical considerations. Sound
spiritual and practical support practices also mark the programs activities.
The outcomes exceed explanation available in the medical or nutritional
sciences. When the points above are
combined with the believer’s personal degree of faith, a liberating power is
unleashed in the believer’s life. The
chains of bondage to food, or food addiction are broken.
Stated simply, “…know the truth, and the truth will make you free
(John
8:31
-36) “
Christ-based
Weight Management, What it is Not!
Anyone categorizing the program as detoxification, or mere
fasting is greatly misguided. Persons
who are involved in the program testify of numerous advantages that belie human
reasoning. Moreover, fears of
regressing or regaining weight only occur in connection with prevailing health
issues, or where persons have not employed the principles as a way of life.
Thus, the trade marked theme,
captures the Christ-based essence of the program.
“We don’t diet,
We live by it,
‘The Living BreadTM.’”
What Else Distinguishes CBWM?
There are literally hundreds of diets on the market.
However, diets are food plans.
They are designed to reduce caloric intake along with other
consideration. However, diets do not
empower people. The Christ-based
program empowers believers to do what most never thought they could do.
Who is Most Likely to Succeed?
Another aspect of this program is that only maturing
believers can fully appreciate and employ the principles.
This is not a program for everyone. It
certainly is not for unbelievers, or skeptical believers.
The program is for persons who have a deep and abiding personal
relationship with the Living Bread, Jesus Christ.
These persons who are weight challenged, or those who simply desire a
better way hold a high likelihood of success.
Systematic
Discipline
Development
Another important factor is that the program tests the
resolve within the first days, and builds upon early success.
The believer systematically progresses through undeniable and effective
Biblical principles such as the Seven Days of Heaven, and Forty Five
Days to Glory. The progression is
designed to seal the program’s principles as established behavior in the
believer’s life.
The program integrates the dietary principles demonstrated by
Jesus into the life of the believer.
The Evangelistic Factor
The
evangelistic opportunities represent the most devastating blow to demonic
authorities. Believers testify that
the curiosity of co-workers, colleagues, relatives and others open a pathway to
sharing the Gospel. Participants are instructed to use the opportunity to
introduce Jesus Christ to those who do not know Him.
Participants
know that unbelievers will not understand the spiritual principles underlying
this program (I Corinthians 2).
The natural man cannot understand spiritual things.
And even some believers will
not be able to understand the principles. Nevertheless,
participants present Jesus as the answer to man’s eternal and natural
existence.
A
Final Word!
Annually, 400,000 people are dying in the
United States
due to obesity and excess weight
related illnesses. This problem is
as evident in the Church as any other segment of society.
Most people readily admit that obvious sin such as adultery, lying,
gossiping, homosexuality, abortion and similar activities deface the local
church. However, it is conceivable that Satan’s most devastating blow is the
subtlety, but deathly impact of our inability to control our food consumption.
Although eating is the bodily function involved in the first sin, it’s
rarely the focus of attention in churches across the nation.
The people perish for the lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6).
What an unfortunate situation.
However, it is a marvelous testimony to the world that
believers have the answer. There are
those who know the truth, and they have discovered the power to overcome their
obsession with food. And now, you
have the answer. The only question is will you do the same?
