Today I did "Cindy" which is a 20min AMRAP (As Many Rounds as Possible)
5 pullups
10 pushups
15 bodyweight squats
I felt great doing this workout but didn't count my rounds.
Bible WOD:
1 Timothy 4:8 (NIV)
For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
As a Christian, I know my body is the temple of God and I should respect this body He has given me. That's why I practice healthy eating habits as well as crossfit. If I'm healthy then I can be of better service to God. However, this verse says physical training is important but godliness is more important.
What exactly is godliness?
Godliness is reflected when you're a true, born again Christian. It's permanent. A godly person is committed to obeying God in the world. Before I became a Christian I allowed sin to control my life... I drank, cussed, lied, and wanted nothing to do with the things of God. Now, I no longer do those things, sin doesn't control my life. I can now turn away (repent) from sins I used to. I no longer want to please the flesh but I now have a new desire to please God and serve God. We are not saved by our works, we are saved by God's grace through faith, but our works should reflect godliness. We cant be what society accepts as a good person and expect to get a free pass into heaven; it just doesn't work that way. We can never be sinless but as a christian, we should sin less. So we ought to be godly christians because it holds an eternal value for our souls. It should sicken us to sin against God because we know he sent his only son, Jesus Christ to pay for our sins on the cross. He suffered our hell for us!
