Keys to Spiritual Fitness, Part One
It is impossible to become physically fit by merely reading a book about exercise or listening to excellent advice from a fitness expert; rather, it is imperative that we apply the knowledge gained and actually DO the necessary work of dieting and exercising. Similarly, we cannot become spiritually fit by simply reading the Bible or sitting under excellent preaching of the Word; rather, we must earnestly apply what we are learning to our lives and DO what Scripture calls us to do. In James 1:18-21, we learn how to live a transformed life that builds faith and avoids spiritual atrophy and ineffectiveness.
