New Testament Christians do not have to abide by all the Old Testament laws—for example, we’re free to eat pork and shellfish, and we don’t have to make sacrifices in the temple. We also shouldn’t pray for the destruction of our enemies as Old Testament authors did! But it takes discernment to understand these matters. When we study the Bible, we must ask the Holy Spirit for understanding. He’ll always help!

In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala teaches us about spiritual health. Just like we need to take good care of our physical bodies, our souls need to stay healthy! The only way to do that is by taking in the good—reading and meditating on Scriptures—and rejecting the spiritual junk food the world offers, like movies, music, and social media.
