Book excerpt: A workout should push and stretch you. It is terrific if the workout is also fun to do. And of course there must be attainable objectives. Certainly these goals apply to The Jesus Workout, which is intended to help you stretch and grow spiritually, to better know God, and to get muscular in obeying and serving Him. The Coach Jesus Workout is a 30-day program that introduces some of the Spiritual Disciplines that have strengthened Christians since the time of Christ. In just 30 minutes each day, you will use disciplines such as worship, Bible readings, journaling, guided prayer and meditation and more - all to grow the habit of regular spiritual growth. The book also provides various self-defense techniques for protecting yourself from evil and the "world," which wants Christians defeated, as well as spiritually fat, lazy and self-satisfied. You will learn how to put on the Armor of God daily, and learn some techniques to renewing your mind to be more like Christ. Finally, you'll do some exercises that will convince you that you can stay strong, and live joyfully, through living the disciplines. If you take away just one action step from this book, and apply it to your life, it will change your spiritual life. Know that we are praying for your growth, and for your protection.

Download or read book Habits of Grace written by David Mathis and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christian life is built on three seemingly unremarkable practices: reading the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. However, according to David Mathis, such “habits of grace” are the God-designed channels through which his glorious grace flows—making them life-giving practices for all Christians. Whether it’s hearing God’s voice (the Word), having his ear (prayer), or participating in his body (fellowship), such spiritual rhythms of the Christian life have the power to awaken our souls to God’s glory and stir our hearts for lifelong service in his name. What’s more, these seemingly simple practices grant us access to a host of spiritual blessings that we can only begin to imagine this side of eternity—and the incredible joy that such blessings bring to God’s children today.

This book was released on 2010-05-18 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The premise of this training guide and manual is not based on workouts alone, but on educating the Body of Christ at large about the proper way to have life and life more abundantly according to Gods Word. My entire adult life has been devoted to improving my mind, body and spirit, but the only way my Life-Style can be balanced is by ensuring that my Immune System protects me against any form of disease, such as High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Hypertension, High Cholesterol, etc. Now, I dont claim that with this Life-Style change you will live any longer than the next person, but what I am attempting to convey is that with change you live much healthier, have more energy, and be more alert to enjoy the many blessings that the LORD has promised in HIS Word! The reality is that you do not have to use steroids or muscle enhancing drugs (steroid derivatives) to achieve a great body, so stop listening to those so-called personal trainers who are just trying to sell you those expensive training sessions looking like they eat cheeseburgers and french-fries for breakfast, lunch and dinner! If a trainers body does not appear as though he/she works out regularly or they look like they came straight out of a fitness magazine, be careful because all that glitters isnt gold! And it doesnt matter what that certificate says on their office wall, or how many hours of personal training time they have because when these so-called personal trainers tell you that they want to design a program specifically for you and your needs, ask yourself how in the world do they know it works if they have never tried it for themselves? WE DONT ASK A POOR MAN HOW TO GET RICH, SO BE WEARY OF THOSE WHO CANNOT DEMONSTRATE THEIR OWN CLAIMS!!!

Download or read book Fit for God written by La Vita M. Weaver and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2010-03-24 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Vita Weaver, an ordained minister and fitness instructor, knows firsthand how being overweight affects every aspect of one’s life. During her own battle with extra pounds—she gained eighty following the birth of her first child—she found herself struggling also with profound emotional and spiritual problems. Once a size five, she had skyrocketed to more than two hundred pounds, and her sense of self-esteem and well-being plummeted to an all-time low. After trying countless diets, she began exercising at home, playing Gospel music to keep her going. Before long, she was reciting Bible verses and singing hymns during her routines. Not only did she shed pounds and build muscle, but Weaver had gained an unexpected benefit—her exercise sessions had become precious times of praise, prayer, and inspiration. Now, the only thing she didn’t like about exercising was when she had to stop! Weaver’s sessions in her living room grew into a video series called Hallelujah! Aerobics and, ultimately, a fitness plan designed to meet the needs of the whole person. In FIT FOR GOD, her inspirational voice and her expertise as the leader of hundreds of successful fitness workshops are woven together in a highly effective eight-week program of diet, exercise, prayer, and praise. Combining solid nutritional information and exercise routines with inspiring passages from the Bible, her program will encourage even the most reluctant workout candidate to follow her example and embrace the rewards of becoming “fit for God.”

Download or read book Hearers and Doers written by Kevin J. Vanhoozer and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundation of discipleship is sound, scriptural doctrine. The value of sound doctrine is often misunderstood by the modern church. While it can be dry and dull, when it flows from the story of Scripture, it can be full of life and love. This kind of doctrine, steeped in Scripture, is critical for disciple-making. And it's often overlooked by modern pastors. In Hearers and Doers, Kevin Vanhoozer makes the case that pastors, as pastor- theologians, ought to interpret Scripture theologically to articulate doctrine and help cultivate disciples. scriptural doctrine is vital to the life of the church, and local pastor-theologians should be the ones delivering it to their communities. With arresting prose and striking metaphors, Vanhoozer addresses the most pressing problems in the modern church with one answer: teach sound, scriptural doctrine to make disciples.
