“Might someone young in the faith be watching you and saying to herself, ‘You know, she’s a strong Christian and loves Jesus. She does yoga… I think I’ll take that yoga class being offered down the street… Are we responsible for living our lives in such a way as to be a help or a hindrance to the cause of Christ?”
– Laurette Willis, PraiseMoves
Grow in your love for God
Strengthen in His Word while moving to the flow of scripture; let Him teach you about what things are important to Him and how you are important to Him.
“Do not love the world or the things of the world.” Meaning of love here includes “to welcome,” “entertain,” “pleased or content with.” (1 John 2:15)
Grow in love with other believers by growing together
“…not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.” (1 Cor 10:23-33)
Keep God’s flavor distinct and savor His seasoning! Let the full brightness of His light shine as it is meant to—unhindered. (Matt 5:13-16) PraiseMoves and WholyFit are two ministries that seek to keep the family of God from the struggle of compromise.
Rest knowing that your choices support growth in others, and are not a possible “stumbling block.” (1 Cor 8, Rom 14)
“Some asanas are called after gods…” (B.K.S Iyengar quote—Light on Yoga, pg. 24). In your liberty “…if anyone sees you who have knowledge
eating in an idol’s temple… when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.” (1 Cor 8)
