STAND FAST; STAND AND BE EXEMPTED FROM EXCESSES
The athlete (runner) who will run fast and would not want to be held down with unnecessary body weight due to fat must be ready to be exempted from excesses. You as a Christian have got to put your body under subjection. You cannot eat all what every other person(s) will eat. Neither should you be where other person(s) who does not have the conviction that you have.
Don't get yourself obsessed with the possessions of excessive earthly (but ephemeral) things to the extent that you loose your stand in Christ.
There should be clear-cut limit for you as a Christian on what you want, do, eat and the likes.
If you do all the world do;
If you eat all they eat;
If you go everywhere they go;
If you accommodate all they accommodate;
If your appearance isn't different from theirs;
If your speech is same as theirs;
Then you are going nowhere different from theirs
"As the athlete can't afford to loose the gold medal because of an additional weight neither should you loose your stand because of excessive accruement of the non-essentials "
