Spirtual Performance Enhancing Drugs!

I brought some dumb-bells to class today. Each weighed 27.5 pounds. "Who's strong enough to lift these?", I asked. I was certain one of the football players in the room would rise to the challenge. Perhaps their fear of where I was going with the object lesson contributed to their less than enthusiastic response. Finally, Hannah Brown rolled her eyes, then her sleeves and cranked out a few curls!

Kyle Wall did a few. Nick Beidleman took the weights off the bar and did a few with just the bar.

How do you get physically stronger? You exhaust your muscles. You have to break them down to build them up. Kyle suggested that you can't just do it once, but have to do this repeatedly to achieve the desired results of "guns" as impressive as his. ;-)

So how do we get spiritually stronger? Out came the quote of the week from Kyle: "You take spiritually performance enhancing drugs! (SPEDs)"

YES! These are GOOD drugs! We made of a list of spiritually performance enhancing drugs on the chalkboard and talked about each.

• Counsel with the Lord
• Share the Gospel with others
• STUDY the scriptures
• Be unashamed of the Gospel of Christ! Romans 1:16
• Don't send text messages in church meetings

Have you had your SPEDs today?
