This week, one of the busiest activities at the hall will be Slimming World. During December, their numbers dropped, but many people will start the year with a resolution to get healthy. Well, as a church, we’re going to be doing just that, but not in quite the same way. On 8th January we will introduce the theme Fit4life, based on 1 Thessalonians 5:23, where each of us will be given a Spiritual Fitness Planner. Then, in the following three weeks, we’ll look together at three spiritual disciplines we can use to help us to stay spiritually fit. Some of the people who go to Slimming World this week will not be there in a few months time, not because they’ve achieved their goals, but they run out of motivation and will power. And, although the initial desire is there, maybe they just aren’t prepared to make the changes they are being asked to make. Sometimes our spiritual lives can be like that. We make promises to God that we will grow in our relationship with him, that we will spend more time with him, we will listen out for his voice, but sometimes the changes he asks us to make are just too much and so we carry on with our own way of living.
