Who’s Your Personal Trainer?

December 16, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 Are you in shape both physically and spiritually? In our society there is alot of emphasis placed on the physical fitness, but spiritual health is even more important. Our physical health is susceptible to disease and injury but faith can sustain us through any tragedy or circumstance that we may face.

 To train ourselves to be holy, we must develop our faith by using our God given abilities in serving one another to develop our spiritual muscles as Jesus taught us in the Holy Bible. It is very easy to become lazy and think that we have reached our potential in life but when we seek to please God in everything we do it is truly amazing at the levels that can be reached.

 So, I ask you this morning,” Do you have a personal trainer named Jesus and when you look in the mirror what do you see?” All it takes is that first step to get yourself in shape and you will find that every other step will become easier to follow…amen

Obesity In The American Church

August 2, 2009 by admin 3 Comments

 Over the past several years the Christian body has been growing in large numbers in other countries while many of the American churches struggle to stay alive.  The reason for this growth in foreign nations is the hunger for the truth which has been kept from them by their government or others who simply wanted to use the people to serve their own selfish desires. This suppression is exactly why The United States of America was formed in 1776 because we as Christians no longer wanted to be told how to worship and we believed in all being equal under God through the freedom of Jesus Christ. This suppression that our ancestors once lived under created such a hunger and drive that they were willing to risk their lives for our freedom today. 

  But now over the years many Christians and Americans have become fat and even complacent to the point that they don’t even appreciate what they have been given. This country is a beautiful country that was a gift from God and now over time by not holding true to our diet in the will of God we have become overweight and even lazy in feeling that we can’t do something when we can!!! Since when are we to give up? There is always hope as long as we have breath and the Lord is saying,”Return to me and I will bring you home…“

 America has eaten so much steak that we have forgotten how to appreciate the bologna and in turn there are many that don’t even appreciate the steak anymore because they have eaten so much that they are feeding off of self in such a way that it is misguiding the children…

Our Diet Affects Our Health & Relationships

May 30, 2009 by admin 2 Comments

 In the book of Daniel we are taught a major lesson on the foods we consume and how they can affect our relationship with God. Our society as a whole has fallen into over consumption and eating unhealthy foods that have affected us physically which in turn hurts us spiritually. It is easy to eat and then diet but real discipline which comes from God is learning to balance your diet in a healthy manner that will give you positive results mentally, physically and best of all spiritually.

 Temptations come from all directions and until we recognize how to control ourselves in our diet and in our actions then we face a continuous cycle of ups and downs.  By learning to fast and do without at times shows discipline and sacrifice in seeking not what we want but by learning what God wants in our attention that will help us to grow strong physically and spiritually. In the New Testament Jesus taught us a very wise lesson in what we consume. He taught us this, “It is not what we take in but what we retain and what comes out.”   If we would apply this wisdom to our diet and to everything else in life could you only begin to imagine how much healthier our world and our relationships would be?

Spiritual Revelations

Don’t be like Eli in 1st Samuel and miss something that has been given by God. If you recall with Eli he did not listen because the Word of God was rare in those days and he did not recognize what was taking place until he saw the persistence of Samuel…
