I don’t see the point of lifting for Christ. If I believed in Christ, I could think of other things to do than weightlifting that would probably make him happier. Weightlifting makes me happy. It sounds a little self-serving to say you’re weightlifting for Christ, when it’s what you want to do and your religious obligations really have nothing to do with it.
Hang on while I go drive my car fast for Christ.[/quote]
it’s easy.
if you believe, if you read the bible you can see the “truth”. Every think you do can be a prayer in the name of the Father. Your effort can be driven to make the glory of the Lord. Your strenght is His gift… and your lifts are a way to pray the Lord…

Are you saying that we should give thanks because most of us take shit for granted? I think bringing organized religion into an impartial subject is really, really silly. I’ve seen the weight room, and I’ve felt the bar in my hands many times. I’ve never once seen :the light" or “felt the touch”, even during lifting.[/quote]
Jesus was a pretty skinny guy and I think that for lifting purposes he should have left the water, water. I’m not sure if he was getting his full gallon of H2O a day, esp. when he turned it into wine.
Now he may have had the Mediterranean diet down with the fish for protein and all but, I think he needed to up his carbs with all that spreading the word through the desert.
He definitely had the heart though, carrying that heavy cross around, so I think that with the proper diet he could have been huge. Not to mention his deadlift from the grave to heaven was very impressive.
The above joke being said, I don’t think we lift for Christ, but for us believers I do think he gives us the strength and determination to.
This is ridiculous. Do you really think Jesus cares if you?re lifting for him? People are so stupid.
What Jesus really cares about is if you can tell him what you think is bf% is.
Get your acts together people.
