Results show that over thirty days with no change in diet and no exercise you can lose 20 pounds!
What a delight! All we have to do is take a pill, make no changes in our life, and we can lose weight. Sign me up!
Whether or not the claims we hear each day from every direction of the media are true, I think it highlights a problem much larger than obesity in our culture.

We want things to change without having to sacrifice anything.
We want to lose weight but eat all the Twinkies we want.
We want to fix our relationships but we don’t want to turn off the TV and truly communicate.
We want a job we love without having to do anything more than submit a resume online.
We want to go to heaven but we don’t want to stop living for hell.
We have been inundated with laziness and apathy thanks to everyone from infomercials to Disney. We want to do what we’ve always done but achieve different results (some say that’s the definition of insanity) because that’s what we hear everyone else is doing.
No sacrifice. No change. No problem.
Take a pill; fix your life.
My friends, there is no diet pill for your life. There is no change without sacrifice.
If you want to lose weight, you need to die to your old diet and laziness.
If you want to repair broken relationships, you need to die to yourself and put others’ needs above your own.
If you want a job you love, you need to die to the old way of doing things and create value that no one else can.
If you want to go to heaven, you need to die to your sin through the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
There are no shortcuts to change. There are no life-changing pills. You have to die to your old ways if you want to live differently.
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! Clever, simple, and direct.

I love this. Something that is so true and so overlooked. We want instantaneous gratification without the work or sacrifices or effort. We want to loose 10 lbs, but we still want dessert. We want to get closer to Jesus, but we won’t want to wake up a little earlier in the morning to spend time with Him. Discipline and sacrifice are two keys to the Christian life that are crucial, yet overlooked more than most. Thanks JShirk :)
Unfortunately, we’re all guilty of lacking the discipline and sacrifice all too often. Thanks for your insight, CasN!
Hit the nail right on the head. In addition to seeking an easy fix, people also tend to believe whatever they want to, and thus fall victim to wild, preposterous claims. Good things have a price, thats why they are valued.
