I submit my legs to God as instruments of righteousness when I engage them in physical labor as service, perhaps carrying a burden the "second mile" for someone whom I would rather let my legs kick.

We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other men.

It’s not the body that people love, but the soul. The body is a temporary vehicle. Without the soul, the body is like a car without a driver.

Who is the witness, enjoyer and sufferer that activates my body?
