Train yourself for the purpose of godliness. Physical training has some value but godliness is profitable for all things (in all directions), since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
The imperative "train yourself" in the Greek is gymnaze from which we get the word "gymnastics". No doubt Paul had in mind the rigorous training that a gymnast commits to when he exhorted Timothy to train himself for godliness. At the heart of this sort of training are specific routines and disciplines that the athlete engages in.
An MRT is two or more people (a team) who have God's heart for the expansion of His kingdom in a city or region. They are committed to spiritual training with a specific set of spiritual disciplines (see the MRT 2.0 Invitation).
*Intentionally paying attention to my heart and your heart daily is a spiritual discipline (see SASHET)
*Writing out my dialogue with God each day and sharing it with you is a spiritual discipline (see VIRKLER)
*Meeting each week with my MRT to listen to the Lord of the Harvest about church planting in my city is a spiritual discipline
*Reading this blog each day and responding is a spiritual discipline
*Investing financially in church planting is a spiritual discipline
What do you see in the video below that relates to spiritual disciplines?
