God’s decretive will [also called His hidden, sovereign or efficacious will] refers to the secret, all-encompassing divine purpose according to which He foreordains whatsoever comes to pass. His preceptive will refers to the commands and prohibitions in Scripture. One must reckon with the fact that God may decree what He has forbidden. That is to say, His decretive will may have ordained that event x shall occur, whereas Scripture, God’s preceptive will [also called His revealed or moral will], orders that event x should not occur.

A Message from our Provider:

“If God is your Copilot – swap seats!”

Perfectionism means striving for an impossibly high standard, usually for selfish ends. In the case of those who are anorexic, the perfectionist drive centers on having the perfect body and eating perfectly; but the underlying issues are selfish motives and sinful desires. Their distorted mind-set descends into bizarre thinking and behaviors because they are actually worshipping themselves. Hardened by their own pride, they become willing to destroy their own body and sacrifice themselves in the pursuit of their ideal self-image. Blinded by their self-righteousness, they cannot see Christ as their righteousness.
