Good afternoon, Christ Fellowship! How many of you out there would consider yourself to be a bodybuilder? Anybody? No? Do you know how often a professional bodybuilder works out? Most of them work out 6-7 days a week. One day it’s back and biceps. The next day is legs. The next is chest and lats or whatever. But most of those guys work out pretty much every day. Plus, there is the cardio and the nutrition and the supplements. It’s a lot of work and a lot of time and effort. But that’s what you have to do to be in that kind of shape.
Paul told Timothy in 1 Timothy 4 that physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. Do you want to be godly as God has commanded? Do you want to be holy as God has commanded? Do you want to be in healthy spiritual condition? Do you really think you can do that by going to church once a week? I know you are busy. I know you are tired. But you make time for what you want to make time for and if you really want to be in good spiritual condition it is going to take more than just showing up on Sunday mornings.
Our Sunday night times and Thursday nights are really where you get the good, hard spiritual and biblical workouts. I really want to encourage you to consider coming to at least one more evening of Bible study. Sunday nights are from 6-7 and Thursday nights are from 7-8:30 or so. You can ask all the questions you want or you can sit there like a bump on a log. It’s up to you and there is no pressure. I hope you will make time this next week to give it a try. You won’t regret it.
I love you all! — Todd
