The Body and Self-Control

In running the Christian race, what did Paul say he did?BR-ASI9 476.15

“But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” Verse 27.BR-ASI9 476.16

Why is indulgence in strong drink dangerous?BR-ASI9 477.1

“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.” Ephesians 5:18.BR-ASI9 477.2

Note.—The danger in the indulgence of stimulating foods and drinks is that they create an unnatural appetite and thirst, thus leading to excess. Both food and drink should be nourishing and nonstimulating.BR-ASI9 477.3
