Pumping Iron:

Everytime we flex a gift, use all God's gifts to full potential.
We build up the Body, the Church of Jesus Christ.
No individual alone can do this.
The gifts need to work in unity--- all exercised.

What good is strong arms and weak legs?
or a toe that can lift a ton with a silent tongue?

Try running a marathon with weak chest muscles:
no breath, no oxygen and the runner stumbles
flat to the ground.

As a body we need to encourage and exercise
all the gifts God gives us to build up the community of Faith:
and run together the race that is this Life.
