Heartburn?

Ask any nutritionist, doctor or trainer what the keys are to a long and healthy life and the two most common responses will be: A healthy diet and regular exercise. But diet and exercise can benefit much more than our physical bodies.

Our spiritual bodies rely heavily on a healthy diet and regular exercise to thrive as well. The local church has exactly what we need when it comes to these two life-sustaining realities. Yet, too many of us come to church to dine on the Word of God and we forget the exercise part. We just come to get the fuel that is necessary to survive in our own little world, forgetting all about the people around us who need to hear the good news of Christ as well. He said to them,"Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation."
Mark 16:15

"Go into all the world" is about exercise. We have to be willing to push away from the table, get outside of our comfort zones, and exercise. We must be willing to take the bread of life to the world around us by sharing and serving.

Examine your life today. Don't just eat and eat and eat on the Word of God. Make sure you push back from the table and take the bread of life to those around you who are in desperate need of true nutrition, and let your heart burn for Christ!
