The spirit has the same need for nourishment as the physical body. Spiritual health requires the same attention to diet as does its physical counterpart. Many are sick or, to all intents and purposes, dead in the realm of spiritual things because their spirits have known no diet other than the mundane, the impure, the unholy. Others are spiritually anemic, having only nibbled at eternal truths and preferring to stuff their bellies with spiritual junk food. Still others, who have feasted upon the meat of the gospel, lack spiritual strength because they have not exercised or used the spiritual gifts that have been given them.
