Body for God
A Biblical Perspective On Our Bodies
5 Parts | By: Ed Young, Tracy Barnes
We all make resolutions every year to eat better, exercise more, and just generally take better care of our bodies. But why don’t we follow through? Why is it so hard to be disciplined in this area? In this series, Ed reminds us that the body, God’s greatest creation, matters to him. He also addresses how our spiritual and physical health intersect to reflect a true body for God.

Why God Cares About How We Treat Our Bodies
You may not hear this in church very often butour bodies matter to God. God has demonstrated from the very beginning of time, with the special creation of man, to the very end, with the bodily resurrection of the believer in Christ, that He places supreme importance on the body He has given each one of us. This message from Ed Young lays the Biblical foundation for training and maintaining your body by God.

Eating God'S Way
The first of the Ten Commandments says that we should not worship any other gods except God Almighty. Well, the sad fact is that many have, as the Bible says, made their belly a god and they worship at the altar of rich delicacies and gourmet cuisine. God has given us all things to enjoy, but Ed Young also reminds us in this message that food is ultimately just the fuel that energizes us for service to God and others.

The Essentials Of Spiritual Discipline
In addition to physical diet and exercise, there is another aspect to staying in shape that we need to understand if we are truly going to be all that God wants us to be. In fact, if you miss out on this one aspect, everything else in this series about taking care of the body is ultimately worthless. This is a message about fitness with eternal consequences, as Ed Young brings home the importance of spiritual discipline in the life of every Christ-follower.
