Preparing Our Hearts and Bodies

In order to be an accomplished athlete, musician, artist, training and diligent practice are necessary. I would never consider signing up to run a marathon if I can barely jog to the end of the block; it would be ridiculous to sign up for MENSA if I barely made it past 5th grade. Common sense tells us that there are many things that cannot be attempted successfully without proper training. Some things might even be dangerous to try without training.

Isn't our spiritual life worth the effort needed to become spiritually fit? Isn't the time invested in learning scripture, studying our faith, building a relationship with God, just as necessary to our well being?
