Often times Christians are focused solely on their spiritual health and neglect their physical well being. I have heard well intentioned Christians quote scripture to justify their inactivity.
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. (1 Timothy 4:8)
Does this mean that we are to forget about exercise all together? Does this mean that God does not care that we are good stewards of our bodies. After all, when we pass to eternity our bodies will return to the dust from which it came, right?
True enough, our bodies are temporary. They will breakdown and eventually fail us.
