Have you been working out?

This should challenge you to look at your life in a completely different way.
Think about it like this: Say I went to go to the gym 4 hours a day and worked out with weights and got really ripped and strong. You would see me as a force, right? I might even flex my muscles around the gym and show everyone how strong I am. But then let's say my friend needed someone to move a dresser for her because they weren't strong enough to do it; and they called me because i appear to be strong and capable of the task. But instead, i call upon someone else to do the work. What's the point? It seems that all of that weight-lifting was pointless and that I should have been spending my time doing something else. Connection: so many Christians have been working out in the spiritual gym, building nice spiritual muscles, even flexing them around the church (sorry, i meant to say gym), but then when it comes time to use those muscles, they tense up and get a pull or a cramp and suddenly can't use those muscles to do the job. What am i trying to say? Why even go to the gym (church) and work out if you arent going to use those muscles for something that really matters (reaching the lost). Why even serve God and get all spiritually pumped-up if you aren't going to take that power and use it for good. Stop scooping ice-cream with those massive biceps and start moving dressers (start changing lives with those spiritual muscles.)
Talk to me about this; i could have gone on for hours talking this away. I want your input, or if you don't understand, i can explain it to you. Let me know; would this be a good sermon coming up soon???
