I am following a system to lose weight. This includes exercise. I'm not huge, but a bit too cuddly. Is this something a christian should bother about? In 1Timothy 4: 8 we read,"Physical training is of some value." So looking after your body is of some importance, but Paul goes on to say,"But godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." If we spend hours on our physical well being and neglect the spiritual side we will one day come a cropper when we realise we have toned our bodies and neglected the part of us that will continue after the body is dead and gone. We need to get right with God before it is too late.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
