Because you're probably a leader in your church and should know
how important "Wellness Training" is to you and your church!
This could be a "divine appointment!"
You must admit that it seems like the average church spends
more time, energy, and investments in its grounds and buildings,
than it does in helping its members be physically fit and healthier
for God's glory.
Please forgive me if this subject is too personal or offensive.
We sincerely want to help church leaders be the most energetic
and effective examples of well-balanced Christians with healthy
bodies, souls, and spirits that they can and should be!
If you're wondering Why should I be more concerned about wellness
training in my church?
- The Bible commands it!
- Wisdom encourages it!
- Home & Ministry need it!
Wellness is not an option! Taking care of ourselves must be a priority,
if we want to really glorify God. Especially in light of so many
unknowns and pressures today, we must desperately guard our health.
Wellness must be an essential part of our everyday way of life.
We shouldn't think that physical fitness is self-centered. It is a
logical investment in God's Temple, our bodies. It's also being a
good steward of the manifold blessings of God. Staying healthy is
less expensive than being unhealthy.
Taking care of yourself is one of the wisest investments
of your life!
The problem with getting and staying healthy is that it takes personal
motivation. Why we do what we do is one of the determining factors to
our success. Our motivation affects our eating habits, exercising,
and investing in nutritional supplements.
Motivation affects everything we do!
Motivation is a mystery to most people. There is also a myth and
misunderstanding about motivation. The myth of motivation is
thinking that people are not already motivated. The truth is,
everybody is motivated.
Some people are motivated to do one thing, while others are motivated
to do the exact opposite. But everyone is motivated. The question is,
what motivates us?
Some people are motivated to be healthy, because it's a serious thing to
do. They want to be in control of themselves. Others are motivated to
be healthy, because they want to look great and make good impressions.
Others are motivated to be healthy, because it's more safe and secure.
They don't like trouble or change. They like steady environments.
Others are motivated because it's logical and wise to take care of themselves. They look at wellness as the right thing to do
Our motivations obviously affect our wellness. It's natural to be healthy
and it's unnatural to be unhealthy. The natural world responds to our
motivations. Everything in life runs down, unless we take care of it.
The Law of Entropy warns us about decay and disease Energy, in any given
system, always runs toward randomness and chaos when left alone.
People Perish for Lack of Knowledge!
We must learn more about staying fit. If not, the outcome is inevitable!
Lack of wellness runs toward ruin. Lack of education often ends in a
wasted life.
By learning more about improving your immune system, blood pressure, energy,
exercising, and stress prevention from a biblical and natural perspective,
you can become a more effective and productive leader.
The bottom line is do you really want to be all God designed you to be body,
soul, and spirit?
Are you like so many church leaders today faithfully teaching the Word,
but feeling guilty about your weight or overall health? And are you concerned
about your church staff and members who are suffering physically?
This Glorifying God Newspaper is not about guilt. It's about GRACE and how God
can liberate us from our bondage to poor health habits.
Most leaders today teach a lot about the soul and Spirit, but neglect
dealing with their BODY, the Temple of God. This newspaper is a Call To
Commitment for Church Leaders to preach and practice the Whole Counsel of God.
This publication is to help you examine yourself, your home, and ministry
. . . to learn how to improve your effectiveness through better physical,
mental, and emotional health.
Receiving this may be providential! It may be your wake-up call! We
believe you may be sincerely trying to do your best for the Kingdom of God,
but if you believe like we do and / or are struggling with the whole
health issue, let us help you.
Read this entire publication from cover to cover. It could change your
life and ministry! Your health and future are important. Take the time
to understand why you do what you do. Learn how to improve the quality of
your life. Do it for yourself and loved ones.
There is nothing wrong with taking better care of your
physical self.
It is essential that you take the time to learn how to improve your health.
It can be the beginning of a whole new way of influencing and helping others.
