Discerning the Body

Listen to the Audio

Lately I have been thinking about 1 Corinthians 11:28-30 which says...

Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.…

The phrase discerning the body keeps coming to mind and I have been thinking about how our physical bodies are a representation of the body of Christ and it works like a community. I used to do a teaching while in the gym about how our body works like a business, and I would say now that it works like a business and ministry.

In today's communion we are asking God for help to discern the body the way he intends for us to do while taking communion. 

Today's Workout/Health Tip

Our bodies work like a business or organization. Something I have been thinking about lately is that a lean business is one who keeps expenditures low. In a lean business the expenditures are limited to things that are really going to grow the organization and make a difference and wasted expenditures are cut. This is the opposite of what we are taught about our bodies, where we are taught to reduce the income and increase the expenditures. This is something I have been asking God for more insight on. 

I am praying for you.
