Kirk of Christ
Physical taining makes us tougher, stronger and gives endurance: it enables us.
Spiritual training can do the same thing. It can make us able to give more, be more patient & kind, to eliminate fear and stress.
Most religious movements are more about healing or rehab - AFTER we're broken. These lessons are about PREVENTING failure by getting us stronger.
Do you want to be a victim or a rescuer?
"victims" need care, attention & pity - rescuers are the heroes who rush to help, to give, to love. Victims will find little comfort here. This isn't for sympathy or pity - it's about service, sharing, helping and contributing.
