Stature

Nourishment

These teenagers are getting bigger and stronger. They’re filling out. Their voices may be changing. But in the long run, if they don’t take care of themselves, they’re going to get flabby – extra round at the belly. They’ll loose flexibility and have less energy. In fact, look down at your belt-line. What do you see? It’s important to instill a lifestyle of physical health and physical fitness. We must all learn to eat right and exercise – take care of the bodies God gave us.

Profitable For All Things

The next point to be made regarding stature is actually an argument against an excessive focus on it. Not to diminish the importance of physical fitness and health, but we should look more to the eternal and spiritual issues in life. Young men often feel immortal and lose the eternal perspective of their choices and actions.
