Hi all,
Well, we've got a lot of information on exercise programs. We learned how they benefit us, what they should include, target heart rates, aerobic and anaerobic exercise, etc. My fear is that the only thing working out so far is our brains. Have you started? Are you "just doing it"? All the knowledge about fitness and workouts won't make us stronger or better conditioned. We have to do something with what we've learned. I hope you will. You know, fitness knowledge is to fitness what knowing about Jesus is to knowing Jesus. We have the Bible to tell us all about who Jesus is, why he came, and why we need him so badly. But if it only goes as far as our head, we may end up like those fellas in Mathew 7:21-23. They may have known about Jesus but didn't "know" Jesus and Jesus didn't know them. James talks a good deal about faith that is all head knowledge and no action. Lt. Anderson used a great illustration to show us the difference in believing something is true about a thing and actually laying hold of that thing to make it ours. In that same Chapter of Mathew, Jesus tells us to ask, to seek, and to knock. Those are action words. Take action. Jesus is waiting. Let me know how you've taken action this week and I'll have something for you at our next meeting.
Blessings,
Capt. Hayden
CSB Battalion 6468 at Chapelgate
The Christian Service Brigade Battalion program is for young men in the 7th - 12th grades who want to develop as Christian leaders through fun and adventure. Weekly meetings are punctuated by monthly trips to experience God's creation, serve others, and discover new interests.
