Spiritually Fit!

    Jacked. Swoll. Cut. Yoked. Massive. Shredded. Beefy. All these words and more are used to describe somebody who has a lot of muscle! Gyms everywhere are packed with gym rats who are willing to pay lots of money, spend a lot of time, and dedicate a lot of energy trying to improve their physical appearance. Different techniques, lifts, and substances are being developed every single day. The weightlifting and fitness communities are hugely popular.  However, a physical body is just the beginning to who we really are.
    True to the faith, a gospel reference teaches," You are a spirit child of Heavenly Father, and you existed as a spirit before you were born on the earth. During your life on the earth, your spirit is housed in your physical body, which was born of mortal parents."
     I myself enjoy a good physical exercising from time to time. The muscles that make up our bodies are fascinating and allow us to do some amazing things. Our Spirits need as much, if not more exercising than our physical bodies! Where can we find a spiritual gym? It starts with a Ch and rhymes with nurch. Everybody at the same time...Church!







4 And after they had been received unto baptism, and were wrought upon and acleansed by the power of the Holy Ghost, they were numbered among the people of the bchurch of Christ; and their cnames were taken, that they might be remembered and nourished by the good word of God, to keep them in the right way, to keep them continually dwatchful unto prayer, erelying alone upon the merits of Christ, who was the author and the finisher of their faith.

5 And the achurch did meet together boft, to cfast and to pray, and to speak one with another concerning the welfare of their souls.

6 And they did ameet together oft to partake of bread and wine, in bremembrance of the Lord Jesus.
