Exercise Is Not Enough

“My holy of holies is the human body; health, intelligence, talent, inspiration, love, and absolute freedom-freedom from violence and falsehood, no matter how the last two manifest themselves.” Anton Chekhov

When we view the statement above and the thoughts of the Apostle Paul on the human body, we can agree that exercise alone, is not enough to qualify for complete fulfillment of a healthy body; 

that would include the mind and soul within each individual.

The Apostle Paul clearly believed that there are benefits for the body through exercising, but more is needed to fully benefit the whole person.  Paul stated “For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.” 1Timothy 4:8 (King James Version)

Spirituality plays an Important Role in Good Health

“Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God, and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of; a blessing that money cannot buy.”

_Izaak Walton

Health is something that is very valuable and should never be taken for granted.  We should do all that is possible to take good care of our health. And encourage others to do the same. Prayers are always needed for God’s intervention, being that he is the one who designed our body.

In order for a person to be complete and to have a healthy body, a healthy diet, and a healthy mind is needed, along with a good exercising program.  When a person only exercise, eat unhealthy foods, and have no spiritual consciousness they will tire quicker, and their stress level will be higher.

Be blessed in health and happiness.

Health & Spirituality/Adultery

Marriage is honourable  in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

Hebrews 13:4 (K.J.V)

1.   Webster's New World College Dictionary:

       whoremonger- a man who has sexual intercourse or associates with whores.

2.   New International Version:
      Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure,
      for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.                                                              

*Root word: Whore-–noun 1. a woman who engages in promiscuous sexual intercourse, usually for money; prostitute; harlot; strumpet. – verb (used without object) 2. to act as a whore.

 Note:  Being that some males as well as females, perform a service,  whereby they are paid for sex,  number  l, in the definition should  say, an individual  who engages in promiscuous sexual intercourse. 

I.   God’s Laws for Marriage:

a.     Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery

         Exodus 20:14 (K.J.V)

b.     Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thou neighbor’s wife,
         nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox nor his ass, nor anything
         that is thy neighbor’s.

          Exodus 20:17 (K.J.V)

II.   The Damage Caused by Adultery:

a.     To engage in extra-marital affairs can cause transmittable diseases to spread
        to others.

b.     There is a danger of causing physical harm to others due to unfaithfulness in
        a marriage.

c.     It destroys trust and weakens the relationship between the husband and wife.  

d.     Destroys relationships with family members.

     There have been  incidents, where a spouse  found out about an affair between their spouse and another individual - either killed the two individuals or one of them.

Often times, it breakup families –the ones who suffer the most are the children. They have to learn to live without both parents in the same home, watching them grow, and doing things with them, the way marriage was designed by God, to be.

Teachers are able to see the negative affect of an extra-marital affair on a student. It interferes with academic performance in school.  It is never just between the husband and wife. It is between the husband, wife and children.

God’s Example for Parents:

For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.  Genesis 18: 19 (K.J.V)

God’s Promise to Men & Women:

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that ye may boldly say, The Lord is my helper and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Hebrews 13:5, 6 (K.J.V)

Note:  More than likely, every marriage will face the temptation, to submit to an extra-marital affair. None of us are immune to temptations. However, there is a stiff penalty to pay. God will not accept the notion, this is something that we can't control.
