Sharing the Plenty in 2020. From 1 Timothy 4:7-8: : this piece of solid advice. Turn off the TV with its doom, gloom, and controversy and listen to this advice for spiritual fitness in study, prayer, and loving others: “Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales.” Maybe even spend less time on Facebook (opinion and commentary by people who know less about the REAL world view than you do). “Spend your time and energy in training yourself for spiritual fitness.l Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is much more important, for it promises a reward in both this life and the next.” Take a Bible course on RightNow.com, or explore all the material on your phone when you go to the Bible icon. Get involved in CityFest preparing for next spring’s event. Listen to Ravi Zachariah’s memorial service. Turn on a Christian radio station instead of the brain-killing talking heads on cable. Let God do the talking! Have a better day. Will you share this message?
