- JT – Question ONE - FROM THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF LIFE….
Why do you think it is important to review the failings of people like Lot in the Bible?
- Bob & JT discuss
Romans 15:4 (ESV) — 4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
2 Peter 2:6–8 (ESV) — 6 if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7 and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked 8 (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard);
- JT – Question Two… “FROM THE MENTAL ASPECT”
How does or should knowing these things change our mental strategies?
- Bob & JT discuss
1 Corinthians 10:12 (ESV) — 12 Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.
Philippians 3:12–14 (ESV) — 12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 2:3–4 (ESV) — 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
- (JT) Third Question …. From the physical side of life…
Let’s talk about recovering from a bad workout. ((discussion of bad workouts))
What are some tips on recovering from a bad workout?
- Bob and JT discuss…
- Give yourself five minutes to pout BUT THAT IS ALL!
- Hydrate – many times it’s a lack of hydration that is the culprit
- OR… lack of fuel – so eat!
- Look at “perceived effort instead of performance”
- Consider your lifestyle stresses…
- Make a plan for Recovery – TAKE A NEW APPROACH
Anything thoughts on this JT?
Bob’s final comment – Mental health, physical health, and even spiritual health from exercise but it does require disciplline
Point: DISCIPLINE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE --- in all aspects of life
