Apostolic Pentecostals have long taken a strong stand against substances that harm the body—tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs, and the abuse of prescription medications. But if we condemn smoking and drinking for destroying the body, what about overconsumption of sugar, soda, and junk food which contribute to obesity, diabetes, and other serious health conditions?

In this thought-provoking podcast episode, Dr. David K. Bernard tackles a challenging question: what biblical and practical guidelines should Apostolics follow when it comes to physical health and the stewardship of our bodies? He also explores the rise of energy drinks and highly caffeinated beverages, especially among youth and young adults. Are these modern stimulants harmless pick-me-ups, or do they pose spiritual and physical risks worth considering?

Whether you’re trying to make healthier choices or understand the biblical principles behind lifestyle decisions, this episode offers clarity, conviction, and compassion.

Trinitarians sometimes argue that 1 John 4:8 ("God is love") demands that God be triune in nature. In his popular book Mere Christianity, Christian apologist C. S. Lewis wrote, “The words ‘God is love’ have no real meaning unless God contains at least two Persons. Love is something that one person has for another person. If God was a single person, then before the world was made, He was not love.” Dr. David K. Bernard counters this philosophical argument with an examination of what Scripture says about God's character and nature.
