Homosexuality is a much more serious problem in our culture because the majority no longer consider it wrong. Gluttony and gossip, on the other hand, seem to be readily recognized as wrong. Nevertheless, I still have both gluttony and gossip mentioned on banners / sandwich boards and have seen other street preachers with the same. I've also had both topics come up in preaching as well. It is not something completely ignored, but not heavily focused upon either because there isn't much dispute about gluttony and gossip being wrong.

Another street preacher who I don't think was there, Ruben, gets criticized by other street preachers about it too. I appreciate the update about your physical development. You are an inspiration to all of us to exercise and eat properly. Nevertheless, don't forget what Paul said: "For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come."

I would guess that the percentage would be closer to 15%. Gary wrote: > Christ's kingdom, which [will be, IMO; not 'is'] > free of Satan. Interesting comment here Gary. So you think that Christ's kingdom today is under Satan's power? Peace be with you.
