We visited a family in another state. The father of the home was talking to us about the Bible. He mentioned that the Bible warned us about the Internet. Lee and I were both surprised when he took us to a verse neither of us had seen. It used the word "surfeiting" and we asked him what that meant. He said "surfeiting" the Internet. Lee asked him for an unabridged dictionary. Everyone in the home was shocked to see that surfeiting meant "The act of feeding to excess; gluttony. Luke 21." The amazing part was this was an issue the father of the home was truly struggling with.


Luke 21:34

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

Surfeiting n. The act of feeding to excess; gluttony.
