1 Timothy 4:6-12 | Building a Healthy Church | Trent Hunter
Fitness and physical training is and has always been the rage. That’s why Paul could say this to Timothy: “train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come” (1 Tim. 4:7–8). That’s a very great promise. What is godliness, how do we get it, and why should we want it? And what does that all have to do with elders? Paul is, after all, writing to a young elder/pastor, Timothy.
