1 Timothy 4:8-10 NIV ...but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance. That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God... We have put our hope in the living God...not an idol that is impotent, not a genie to do our bidding, not a god created to meet our needs...but a living responsive, massive,  loving God...that is where Paul put his hope, in who I have put mine... #letterstotimothy #getinshape #Godsgym

1 Timothy 4:8-9 NLT "Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come" This is a trustworthy saying... So...what's it to be? Put some real sustained effort and energy into God's word...figuring out what it means for you...applying it in the everyday...what does "training in godliness" look like for you? I want God's blessing in both this life and the next but I spend more time ironing my shirt than I do in his word... #letterstotimothy #getinshape #Godsgym #whatsreallyimportant 

1 Timothy 4:7 NLT Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives' tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly... How much time do I waste talking about, arguing about, looking at, stuff that is just worthless...or at best mildly entertaining? Easy habits to get into...but instead...Paul is giving instruction to Timothy...someone younger in the faith...instead of so much snapchatbook, get yourself into God's gym, get some training in the Word, set some spiritual objectives... #letterstotimothy #getinshape #whatsreallyimportant
