BB –  We are talking today about “The Wells Of Salvation”

So JT What does that title bring up to your mind? ((JT ANSWERS))

 

  1. Bob – POINT: When we draw from the wells of salvation there is great joy and gratitude, especially when you think of the great things that God has done for us in the Lord Jesus Christ.

 John 7:38–39 (ESV) — 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ ” 39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

  1. JT This is the PowerBreak Podcast, I’m JT along with Bob Brubaker and this is the –– time for some questions and answers. Feel free to submit your questions by EMAIL TO JT@bobbrubaker.com and we’ll get to the answer on an upcoming PowerBreak. Podcast…

 

JTQuestion ONE - FROM THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF LIFE….

 

You mentioned the wells of salvation and blessings from the wells, but you didn’t really tell us how to draw from the wells. So how do we draw from the wells?

 

  1. Bob

Isaiah 55:1–2 (ESV) — 1 “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food.

John 7:38–39 (ESV) — 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ ” 39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

 

John 15:1–5 (ESV) — 1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

 

DISCUSSION

  1. JT – Question Two… “FROM THE MENTAL ASPECT”

How can we mentally bring ourselves to grasp the concept of drawing from the wells of salvation?

  1. Bob

Word, sacrament, prayer = means of grace

Read the word, Hear the word, meditate upon the word, memorize the word, apply the word

Participate in the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s supper = church ordinances – be part of the church

Prayer – personal time, collective time, and corporate time

Discussion

  1. Third question … Turning to the Physical

Since we lose muscle mass as we get older – I think it begins around age 30 right? Well how can we deal with it?

 

  1. Bob ---

Not only does it begin around age 30 but it speeds up as we age… leading to the risk of falls and fractures, and takes away from our independence. To say nothing of how the loss leads to an impairment of functional activity and loss of being able to move around or even dress ourselves.

WOW!

Two things that can slow the loss is resistance training and eating more protein. Of course regular checkups with your doctor and management of sleep and general healthy routines are important but it boils down to the fact that as we age we resist resistance training which can help the most and we resist eating protein because the effort it takes to fix or even to chew… so we eat more carbs, and we neglect protein.

A help would be to supplement your daily diet with protein – such as a good whey protein supplement, like in a protein shake or smoothy.

It’s well known that as we age we neglect enough protein and we neglect lifting stuff and pushing ourselves in exercise BUT that is exactly what is needed.

 

JT’s Comments

 

Bob’s final comment – It takes discipline to get enough protein and resistance exercise but the payoff is a more stable and healthy lifestyle that will keep you living independently longer.

 

Point: DISCIPLINE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE --- in all aspects of life
