Greg Mathis’s first book, God is Able! But Am I Willing? is a must read for anyone struggling with sinful strongholds in their lives. Writing with quick wit and a pastor’s heart, Mathis gives an autobiographical account of the power of God working in his own life to release him from bondage to gluttony and a sinful lack of exercise.
This is a book pastors should read. Addictions to buffets and recliners will lead a pastor to an early grave and rob him of his effectiveness as a minister of the gospel. Pastor Greg realized this in his own life and with wise counsel of friends and accountability, he has seen God work mightily in his life. He rightly points out that healthy eating and exercise habits are a part of sanctification…giving God all we have and receiving all he has to offer:
Jesus clearly taught that our joy is linked to obedience. I must seek and obey him in every area of my life, and only then will I experience the joy and satisfaction of all Jesus has saved me to be. God is able, and will do his part in sanctification. I must be willing to accept my responsibilty, and daily say not to the flesh, the devil, and the world.
Sin holds many people captive, and most of us have at least a few areas of our life where we have not allowed God to be in complete control. A pastor friend said about this book, “I need to read this, and many people in my congregation really need to read this.” You need to read this too, and the good news is that you can read it for free. Pastor Greg’s staff at Mud Creek Baptist Church have made it possible for us to give away a copy.
