1 Corinthians 11:30

For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep.

Fast food is a great symbol of the character flaws of our society. It shows us our impatience. We do not  want to take the time to sit down and eat a meal, and wait for it to be cooked.  If driving we often will even go so far as to eat will driving to save fifteen minutes on our trip. It shows us our laziness. Often times we choose fast food because we do not want to expend the effort to do the work of cooking. It shows us our unhealthy eating habits. For the most part fast food is incredibly unhealthy for us. Yet we would rather be unhealthy than be inconvenienced. Sometimes it is even it is the unhealthiness that appeals to us because it just tastes so good. Sadly I am too much of an expert in this area as I eat a large amount of fast food.

While fast food may be alright and even justifiable as far as eating habits go, we cannot have a fast food spiritual life. Patience is vital to the spiritual realm. We must use it in times of trial.  We must be patient enough to give ourselves a large portion of time so that we might be able to eat the word of God in full. Discipline and hard work must be at the core of our spiritual walk. All gains in the spiritual realm must
be made over the long haul. There is rarely a habit broken or gained over night. We must do the work that it takes in order to build up our strength.

Finally, we must avoid those things that are spiritually unhealthy for us. We may desire them because they are the quick and easy path. It does not take much effort to continue in our sinful habits, but it does take a lot of work to break out of them. And sometimes we desire the spiritually unhealthy for the same reason that we desire the physically unhealthy: because it just seems so good. And yet in both cases it is more harmful than good. While it may be enjoyable in the short term, it will not be long before our bodies feel the effects, and generally they are negative. For a more long term view, both can cause long term health problems and finally result in death. But fast food can only end our physical lives.  To do the spiritually unhealthy things is to endanger our very souls and their eternal fate.
