Well Faith with Chris Teien
God cares about Spiritual and Physical Fitness (1 Tim 4:8)
Does God care about your health and fitness? Is there a right balance between too much and too little exercise? In the Bible we see that Paul instructed Timothy: “Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come” 1 Timothy 4:8. When this teaching in God’s Word is followed you can increase the quality of your life and extend your effectiveness serving the Lord. Pastor Chris Teien
Original Title: Too Little? Too Much? I Need Enough Exercise!
Find balance in physical and spiritual fitness. As we face a new year, it’s a timely reminder that both require daily choices, intentionality, and discipline. Drawing from 1 Timothy 4:8 and Philippians 2:12-13, I explored how physical health can enhance our lives now, while spiritual fitness prepares us for eternity.
Key Points Covered:
- Physical and Spiritual Fitness: A Shared Commitment
- 1 Timothy 4:8 emphasizes the value of both physical training and godliness.
- Building momentum by integrating physical activity with spiritual growth (e.g., listening to Scripture during workouts).
- Making Daily Choices That Count
- The importance of tracking goals, writing them down, and seeking accountability.
- Small, intentional actions lead to significant, lasting progress.
- Finding a Sustainable Rhythm
- Strategies for fitting fitness into a busy schedule without striving for perfection.
- Persistence matters more than perfection.
- Caring for the Temple
- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us to honor God with our bodies.
- Stewardship of our health reflects our worship and enables us to serve more effectively.
- Spiritual Training That Lasts
- Philippians 2:12-13 calls us to “work out” our salvation through daily actions of faith.
- Community and accountability are crucial for growth and encouragement.
- Encouragement for the Journey
- Start small. Write a goal, track progress, and take the first step.
- God’s grace empowers us in every choice, and the rewards are eternal.
Call to Action:
This year, let’s commit to growing stronger together—physically, spiritually, and as a community. Small steps today lead to lasting transformation tomorrow.
