Food Is For Fuel – Part 1 – No Other GodsIn the first four articles under “Freedom, Faith and Fitness” we have been laying the foundation upon which we can build a biblical view of health and fitness. We have looked at the first of four proofs that our bodies matter to God–that they have value because God created them. We will continue with our study into why we should take care of our physical bodies, but I have had several requests to start addressing other aspects such as nutrition and exercise. Therefore, today I want to start on a sub-topic–the importance of what we put into our bodies.
Faith and Fitness – The Link Between God’s Flesh and OursThere are numerous Scriptures, such as 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 and Romans 12:2 which plainly demonstrate the fact that God cares about our physical bodies. However, there are other equally important, if not so obvious Scriptures that establish the high value God places on these magnificent bodies he has given us. This article investigates the truth that our bodies matter because God Himself took on flesh.
Fitness As WorshipThere is one thing that we need to be abundantly clear about–taking care of your body is not mere vanity, but about worshipping and honoring God with our whole person. Fitness and faith are connected. God does not demand our bodies because he wants cover girls and fitness models. We take care of our bodies because we Love God not merely because we want to Look Good. What God desires is a body that is completely submitted to Him and is available to be used for His service.

The rising health concerns that accompany the rising obesity rates have prompted many food manufacturers to focus on key marketing terms, such as low-fat, whole grain, etcetera in order to promote their products. Fortunately, the answer to the supposedly incredibly complicated question of what we should eat isn’t so complicated after all, and in fact could be boiled down to just a few simple rules.
Made to Move – Exercise Is Essential for Optimal HealthExercise can decrease you risk of heart disease, increase your energy levels, improve your mood and self confidence, improve your memory, help you sleep better, and slow down the aging process. And yet most of us still find plenty of excuses to not exercise. This seems to be especially true in the church, where dedication to exercise is often mistaken for vanity. The truth is that Scripture encourages us to engage in physical activity in exercise. Considering the numerous benefits of exercise, it is obvious that God created us to be active, that we were Made to Move.

Moms: You Can, and You Deserve to Have It All!Five years ago, I thought I was busy.
