2 Corinthians 9:6-7/page 159, paragraph 7
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God — this is your spiritual act of worship.” ~ Romans 12:11 (NIV) ~
NEED A LITTLE NUDGE? Considering my sermon last Sunday: A Crash Course on Spiritual Priorities, I thought it might be helpful to look at the three Spiritual Priorities of Discipline, Discernment and Dependence through another lens. We must not forget that we have a Biblical mandate to present our bodies as living sacrifices that are pleasing to God as an act of worship. About four years ago, researchers at San Diego State University (Go Aztecs!) looked at whether a simple sign could persuade people to make better choices. For 10 non-consecutive days they posted a sign in front of an airport escalator encouraging travelers to take the stairs instead. Some examples: Please reserve the escalator for those who need it.
“The Potter’s Hand” “Build Your Kingdom Here”
Don’t lose time, lose weight. Use the stairs. If you want to feel younger, act younger. Step it up! Use the stairs.
Offerings and Connection Cards will be collected in the Offering Boxes located just inside the two main entrances into our Worship Center.
Until further notice, we will be having Family Services.
The result? On days when the sign was present, twice as many people took the stairs. Significantly, the prompts appeared to work for everyone: those who never exercise and those who exercise frequently were both persuaded to take the stairs this time — and even those loaded down with luggage and rushing to catch a flight — because of the sign.
