BB – We are talking today about … “Intentionality”
So JT What does that title bring up to your mind?
- Bob – POINT: We are not left to do whatever we please. If we are going to please the Lord Jesus Christ, we must be intentional. Consider what He said…

- JT – Question ONE - FROM THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF LIFE….
How important is “intentionality” when it comes to serving God?
- Bob & JT discuss
There really is no other way to serve Him. Otherwise we serve Him as we see fit and that may be as we work it in.
Consider the Lord Jesus Christ…
John 6:38 (ESV) — 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me.
John 4:34 (ESV) — 34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
Consider the apostle Paul…
1 Corinthians 2:2 (ESV) — 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
Galatians 2:20 (ESV) — 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Consider what the Lord Jesus Christ said what was important….
Mark 12:28–30 (ESV) — 28 And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’
Sounds like being intentional is important…
- JT – Question Two… “FROM THE MENTAL ASPECT”
How do we get our minds into a mental state of intentionality in serving God?
- Bob & JT discuss
Proverbs 23:7 (KJV 1900) — 7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee.
Philippians 3:8–10 (ESV) — 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
- (JT) Third Question …. From the physical side of life…
How important is strength training as one gets older?
- Bob and JT discuss…
On average, adults who don’t do strength training on a regular basis can lose 4 to 6 pounds of muscle per decade.
Over time, loss of muscle strength can put everyday activities out of reach—activities such as walking, cleaning, shopping, and even dressing. They hinder your ability to cope with and recover from an illness or injury. Loss of muscle mass can also lead to dangerous falls, which may result in disability or even death. There are other specific health benefits to strength and power training, such as better blood sugar control and a slowing of bone loss.
Strength training can help you build muscle, make you strong, increase your endurance and make everyday activities easier. Most adults should do strength training exercises at least two days a week, according to the federal activity guidelines. Beginners should start with exercise bands or light hand weights. If you’re more experienced, weight machines are a good option.
Anything thoughts on this JT?
Bob’s final comment – Applying any fix to your circadian rhythm takes disciple…
Point: DISCIPLINE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE --- in all aspects of life
