I hate the gym. I'm Lena Abu-Jamal,

0:06

and this is today's single Christian. I

0:08

am well aware that two of you listening right now

0:10

love the gym. The rest of us don't.

0:12

We hate working out, and we do it only

0:14

because we have to. The thing is, we

0:16

all want to look good. We just don't care for the price

0:18

that comes with it. Give me a svelte figure

0:21

and a pint of ice cream any day. Give

0:23

me a heart that's healthy while binging on Netflix

0:25

and I'm in. But it doesn't work that way.

0:27

All that is good in this life has a price.

0:30

It's why Jesus told us to count the cost

0:32

before jumping in. It's why he warned

0:34

us that the road to eternal life is narrow,

0:36

that the cross is heavy to bear, but

0:39

the reward is worth every sacrifice

0:41

made and every bit it will cost us.

0:43

If you're looking for a heart that's healthy.

0:45

Get off your spiritual oasis and work out

0:47

your salvation, and God will give you both the

0:49

desire and the power to do his good

0:51

pleasure for help in living successfully.
