Spiritual Exercise Right Way and Wrong Way

Everyone agreed that physical exercise is helpful to our body. It will make us strong and healthy if we do it right. However, the truth is some time exercise can be very harmful to our body. Especially when you do it wrong. This is an example, please watch the video clip.

Likewise, we also need to exercise in our spiritual life. Spiritual exercises can be known as; trusting God when things are impossible, leaning God when we can not fore seen future, believing God when things go wrong, waiting on God when circumstances are not favor with us, standing with God when no one understand us, etc., plus addition to the daily walk with God. The Bible says that it is trial for the Christians; "My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." (James 1:2-4). That is the right way for us in our spiritual exercise.

How about wrong way? It is so clear that if someone doing the following things when need of spiritual strength; looking for sensational stimulation, accepting all kinds of spiritual expressions, not knowing what the Bible teach, depending on self understanding, compromising one's faith with others error, practicing on World view of religion (everything is good thus everything must be gods, all road leads to Rome), etc.. Definitely, these are the ways of destruction to our Christian faith. Scripture says that people will having itching ears, speaking of flattering words and believing all things in the last days, which is very much in our generation. "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;" (2Tim. 4:3)
