I just came accross some information that might require me to give up eating Big Macks. It hurts so bad. I have to pick another favorite type of hamburger. Why MacDonalds, Why? MacDonald's has decided to promote, defend, and endorse the homosexual lifestyle. This is against my spiritual convictions. Should I be so extreme that I personally boycott McDonald's by not eating their food. I am perplexed by thinking I have to act in some fashion regarding there stance. I am forced to respond some how. I might have to divorce the Big Mack and the best fries in the market. I will have to do some praying and meditating. What do you guys think about my delimma?
Ah, a good question I think... something to think about. On the one hand, you have two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, all on a seseme seed bun. On the other hand, eating one of these delicious treats will, in fact, actually be contributing to a company that has "come out of the closet" on its moral (and spiritual) beliefs. I would say, honestly, that if it is a sin to you, to eat... then if you eat, you sin. If it is not a sin to you, to eat... then it is not a sin. I don't really think that you personally eating or not eating several Big Macs a year is going to impact McDonald's much.I think this one you just need to weigh it out before God, and see if He wants you to stop eating Big Macs. I know, a lame answer perhaps... but it's the best I think (not to toot my own horn). If you do take a stance and decide that the Lord wants this to be a sacrifice you make for Him, it would be best to keep it as your own personal sacrifice, and don't feel obligated to force it on others. I don't think it is is a sin, personally, unless it is a sin to you. Whatever you do, commit to it. There is a proverb about making a commitment, and afterwards turning back on it. Maybe you can commit to cutting your Big Mac consumption in half? Maybe do it only as an even more seldom treat?This isn't it, but here is another Proverb that came to me.Proverbs 3:6: In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
