MARRIAGE: The Institution

Have your ever thought that perhaps marriage is an institution that helps us to become more like God?  We can learn about things like unconditional love, forgiveness, character defects, growth, servant hood, humility, strength, and so much more.  By serving our spouse, no matter what, we learn to be more like God. 

You are not responsible for your spouse’s actions, but you certainly are responsible for your own.  Make choices that please God and bring honor to him.  Your marriage can shine bright and radiate the love of God if you will simply follow God’s plan laid out in his word.

HEALTH: Reduce risks

According to the Center for Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, people who exercise regularly throughout the week reduce the risk of developing symptoms of the leading causes of illness and death in the U.S. such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

Combine that with eating a healthier diet and risks are reduced even further.  Why does exercising and eating healthy give people such a hard time?  Why can’t people commit to a healthier lifestyle? 

It’s easier to not exercise.  It’s easier to eat whatever we want.  We live in a culture that wants instantaneous gratification and is not always willing to pay the price for good health. Nothing of value comes cheap though.  The Bible tells us to take good care of our bodies and it does so for good reason.  No one wants to be sick or develop a condition or disease.  If God tells in his word that eating healthy and exercising are good for our well-being, then we ought to take this serious and begin making changes today toward a healthier lifestyle.

HEALTH: Principles

Some churches are taking serious the Bible’s directive to treat our bodies as God’s temple and are merging faith and fitness together.  Churches have begun to teach healthy living principles from the pulpit as well as offer fitness groups, weight loss classes, and Bible study groups on fitness topics.

There are even some that are adding gyms onto their buildings so that members of their community can come and play sports and exercise.  This provides people with a great opportunity to learn about how to live a healthy life as well as partner with others in their endeavors.  Accountability and partnering together make it easier to make the necessary changes toward a healthier lifestyle.
