The Faith of Flexibility
Text: Matthew 4:18-21
18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him
Summary of The Faith of Flexibility
A seminary professor once said: “I use to get upset when people would knock on my door, interrupting my work, until the day I recognized that all these interruptions were my work!”
This is a good lesson for those in the “traditional church” to remember.
OUR GOAL: To equip God’s people for ministry so that the message of the Kingdom of God – the message of grace – might be advanced.
There are many PATHS we can travel toward accomplished that goal, such as teaching, preaching, praying, visiting, encouraging, confronting, leading, following, initiating, waiting, striving, resting…etc.
But we must remember that the AIM/GOAL/PURPOSE of our ministry is NOT to teach, preach, pray, visit, encourage, confront, lead, follow, initiate, wait, strive, rest…or any of those sorts of things. THESE ARE ALL WAYS – paths or trails/means & methods. These are ways to reach the destination….but they are NOT the destination.
We become STUCK when we think that our call is to teach, preach, pray, visit, encourage, confront, lead, follow, initiate, wait, etc…
We become FREED when we know that our destination is to become better equipped and more faithfully engaged in KINGDOM MINISTRY
We will become STUCK when…the destination is confused with the path
We will become STUCK when…what we are doing takes precedence over where we are going
We will become STUCK when…we become rigid, stiff, unyielding, immoveable, and inflexible
If we do not learn flexibility, it will be like driving with the brake engaged.

At present, you may be suffering from problems such as postural deviations, pain, functional limitations, and other similar concerns. For most of these problems, lack of range of motion is to blame. There are numerous causes of limitations in joint and muscle motion. Immobility and structural problems are just some of them. While some of the problems may require you to use assistive devices and resort to operations to compensate for the problems, you may address most of these concerns by using exercises.
I know how it feels like to have problems with motion. I also have gone through postural deviation problems in the past. Needless to say, these problems brought me nothing but pain and hassle every time I have to perform my daily tasks. Because of this, I vowed to look for an effective means to reverse the effects of these problems and make my life a lot better. In the long run, I did not fail.
Such is the reason for the existence of this book. This book is specifically designed to help you address the problems noted by using stretching exercises.
