Some churches are taking serious the Bible’s directive to treat our bodies as God’s temple and are merging faith and fitness together. Churches have begun to teach healthy living principles from the pulpit as well as offer fitness groups, weight loss classes, and Bible study groups on fitness topics.
There are even some that are adding gyms onto their buildings so that members of their community can come and play sports and exercise. This provides people with a great opportunity to learn about how to live a healthy life as well as partner with others in their endeavors. Accountability and partnering together make it easier to make the necessary changes toward a healthier lifestyle.
