5BX Spiritual Fitness Plan

Mark A. Copeland

INTRODUCTION

1. In the late 1950s, there was an exercise program called 5BX (Five Basic Exercises)... a. Developed for the Royal Canadian Air Force b. Published as a booklet with 23 million copies sold in Canada c. Consisted of five exercises to be done daily in 11 minutes

2. In this lesson, I would like to suggest a similar 5BX plan... a. Designed for Christians, to aid their spiritual growth and development b. Consisting of five spiritual exercises to be done daily (though not in 11 minutes!)

[I call it the 5BX Spiritual Fitness Plan. In the original 5BX plan, the first exercise involved stretching. Our spiritual 5BX plan begins with a daily regimen that will stretch our souls...]

I. READ THE WORD OF GOD

A. THE WORD OF GOD... 1. The means by which we grow spiritually - 1Pe 2:2 2. Read the Psalmist's valuation of the Word - Ps 19:7-10 3. It was by the Word of God that Jesus resisted the devil - Mt 4:4,7,10 4. It is by God's Word in our hearts that we can resist sin - Ps 119:11 -- The Word of God is therefore foundational to our spiritual fitness

B. READING THE WORD... 1. Develop the habit of reading the Word daily 2. Start slow; perhaps with the NT, a chapter a day 3. Progress to reading the Bible through each year 4. Read devotionally, meditating on what you read -- The Word of God will help you to grow in grace and knowledge

[In the original 5BX plan, the second exercise involved sit-ups to strengthen the midsection. Our spiritual 5BX plan involves a spiritual exercise that will empower our souls...]

II. SPEND TIME IN PRAYER

A. THE POWER OF PRAYER... 1. There is forgiveness from God - Ac 8:22; 1Jn 1:7-10 2. There is peace from God - Php 4:6-7 3. There is strength from God - Ep 3:14-16,20 4. There is opportunity from God - Col 4:3 5. There is boldness from God - Ep 6:19-20 6. There is wisdom from God - Jm 1:5-8 7. There is healing from God - Jm 5:14-16 8. There is tranquility from God - 1Ti 2:1-4 -- Together with the Word, prayer is foundational to spiritual fitness
