Spotlight -- Intentional Fitness: Working Out Your Salvation”
From Flab to Fit
Wouldn’t
it be great to grow fit overnight? If only we could get off the couch for the
first time in weeks and run to the top of a long, steep hill. If
only we could eat fruits and vegetables just one day a week and lose 10 pounds.
If only.
Physical
fitness is a habit formed one day at a time, one exercise at a time, one meal
at a time. It doesn’t happen by chance. Fitness is a deliberate choice.
The same
principles apply to spiritual health. If only we could dust off our Bible for the
first time in weeks and immediately change our wrong thoughts. If only we could
pray just one morning a week and deepen our walk with the Lord.
Is your
faith flabby? Do you need some variety in your spiritual exercise routine? I
invite you to read Mary G. Scro’s new book Intentional Fitness: Working Out
Your Salvation.
Here's the link to my review of Mary's book on Amazon.
Synopsis:
We live in a world that desperately needs Jesus, but can’t find
Him.
Why? Because many who bear His name (Christians) are not
spiritually fit enough to walk in His ways. And how do you know what “fit” is
in a world that is increasingly void of any mention of the name of Jesus? How
do you hear His voice to know His ways with so much godless static assaulting
you every day, from all directions?
“Therefore, my dear friends . . . continue to work out your salvation
with fear and trembling . . .” Philippians 2:12 (NIV).
Intentional Fitness compares physical fitness to spiritual fitness
and discusses similarities. Only by being intentional about your own spiritual
health can you live life to the full as Jesus created you to live and died to
make possible for you. And only then can you bring the Kingdom of God and His
love to a world in desperate need.
