BUILD IT UP

Ephesians 4:12

Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.

Former weightlifting champ, Bob Zuver, became an ordained minister after building Zuver’s Gym and the Muscle Hall of Fame. What’s interesting about this gym is that all of the presentations are physically large. For instance, some of the presentations are a huge fiberglass gorilla, a ten-foot tall superman and a fiberglass elephant lifting a barbell. The main entrance doors weigh two tons and the drinking fountain is a fire hydrant. When Zuver was asked why everything was made large in scale, he said, “To build fitness and strength not only in the physical realm, but also in the mental and the spiritual realms.” Every Christian is part of the body of Christ, and Christians are responsible for strengthening each other and working together to build a huge, fit body of Christ.
