Examining Yoga Biblically

 "If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god, would not God have discovered it, since he knows the secrets of the heart?"  Psalm 44:20-21 

Yoga Syncretism or 2 Corinthians 6:14-18?

I hope you'll consider these important biblical truths if you're involved in yoga or other pagan or new age practices.

Questions Christians Should Ask Before Doing Yoga

This is one of Bible Love Note's resource articles not sent to subscribers. It may take you 3-4 minutes to read. It's made available to confirm and expand the truths presented in the concise 1-minute devotions sent to subscribers each weekday. Subscription information HERE.

“Thanks to ingenious marketing, yoga is no longer weird, foreign, and seemingly cult-like here in the West…the teachings of yoga will be expressed through semantics that can easily be absorbed by our secular filter...America has chosen to dilute, reinterpret, and turn a blind eye to what yoga actually is...”  ~ Jill Lawson, certified Yoga instructor (source)

If you are considering yoga or already doing yoga, I pray that you will read through these questions and Scriptures and ask God for wisdom. If you finish and still feel comfortable doing yoga, that’s your choice. I just pray you will not get involved with yoga until you have read the cautions in this article and other linked resources. Thanks!

1. Is an exercise program with a pagan origin the best choice for Christians?

 

Yoga bears a pagan name still used by Hindus today and it means to join, yoke, or unite with the Universal Consciousnesses, a pagan concept.  In fact, yoga is still a vital part of current Hindu and Buddhist worship. 

 

Even when it's presented as non-religious or Christian yoga, it mimics pagan rituals and ceremonies and still claims to be a mind and body practice, never simply an exercise.

 

 1 Corinthians 10:23:  "I have the right to do anything," you say--but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"--but not everything is constructive.

2. Do you understand the spiritual dangers of syncretism?

Syncretism is combining Christian beliefs with non-Christian beliefs. God stresses the importance of separating ourselves from pagan, occult, and ungodly influences in both Old and New Testament.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18:  "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Therefore, “Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” And, 'I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.'"

Psalm 44:20-21: "If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god, would not God have discovered it, since he knows the secrets of the heart?"

 
3. If you are doing yoga, have you carefully researched its origins and meanings?

 

Christians are responsible to guard our hearts (Proverbs 4:23), and we do this through knowledge of the Bible and knowledge of the influences in our lives. If you have not carefully researched yoga, you may be involved in pagan aspects unknowingly.

1 Corinthians 10:31: "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."

Yoga is not “just exercise.” Even in its most secular forms, it involves meditative techniques and methods which originate in Hinduism.

Yoga is defined as "a Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline, a part of which, including breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures, is widely practiced for health and relaxation."

Many Christians meditate on Bible verses or pray while doing yoga, and that's certainly better than using the Hindu words and chants, but they are still mimicking Hindu rituals. Would you choose to read your Bible in a Hindu temple surrounded by pagan symbols when you could read it in a Christian setting?

1 Corinthians 10:14-22: "Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.  I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say.  Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?  Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf."
 

"Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?  Do I mean then that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.  Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy? Are we stronger than he?"

4. If your exercise program has no links to paganism, why does it have a pagan name?

The word yoga means to join, yoke, or unite with the Universal Consciousnesses. Can there really be something called Christian yoga? Jesus would never yoke Himself or share His influence with even the slightest pagan concept. There's no biblical explanation for this partnership or this name.  

In addition, many "secular" yoga classes incorporate religious words and practices unknowingly or purposely. 

 

One example is the use of the word Namaste. It may be presented as nothing more than an Indian greeting, but it represents the idea that we are all part of the "divine consciousness." When you say it to another person, you are saying "the divine nature in me bows to the divine nature in you." For more specifics, see this Hindu site: Namaste.

 

5. Will weaker Christians or non-Christians get involved in the pagan forms of yoga due to your witness (i.e. your involvement)?

 

While I don't believe yoga can be completely sterilized of its pagan influence; let's suppose, for the purposes of this question, that it can be.

It's still vitally important that Christians doing yoga explain they are not Hindus and are not involved in the pagan aspects of yoga. If a Christian doesn't explain this difference to friends, family, and acquaintances (especially non-beleivers), they may encourage others, by their example, to get involved in Hinduism. 

 

We don’t need to explain that we do Christian or non-religious calisthenics, hiking, or skiing because those things don't have pagan origins. They are simply exercises. But yoga does have a pagan origin and name and it's widely practiced by Hindus. 

Suppose another weaker Christian starts yoga based on your example, but they’re not as careful about avoiding the Hindu practices. Suppose a non-Christian friend follows your example and also gets involved in Hinduism and is no longer interested in pursuing Christianity.

When yoga is taught in schools, it's not likely that a child will be mature enough to understand and avoid pagan aspects.

Romans 14:21-22: "It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall. So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves."

The following excerpt from 1 Corinthians 8 talks about doing things associated with pagan rituals. Even if you believe yoga is a completely non-religious form of exercise, the principle in this passage would apply. I encourage you to read it the whole chapter (linked above).

"For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols? So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall."

6. Are you comfortable doing something that many solid Bible teachers warn against?

Did you know that the majority of solid Bible teachers think you should avoid yoga? It can't be justified biblically.

Please read the first link below where respected Bible teachers share their concerns about yoga.

Our spiritual health is far more important than our physical health. Exercising spiritual wisdom is more important than any physical exercise. 

1 Timothy 4:8: "For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come."

 

Whatever you decide, I pray that you will do so with full knowledge of the possible consequences. If you have doubts, why not give up yoga for a season and ask God for clarity about whether you should continue.

How the Yoga Pants Debate Revealed Problems in Our Christianity

A few years ago, Veronica Partridge said she'd been convicted not to wear yoga pants because she felt they were immodest. The backlash went viral and Veronica and her husband ended up on Good Morning America trying to explain their beliefs.

Whether Christians want to admit it or not, modesty is important to God (Proverbs 11:22; 1 Timothy 2:9). (See Right & Wrong)

While I've never taken a personal stand on yoga pants except to admit I don't look good in them, I was disappointed in the way many Christians handled the debate. (See 3 Times to Bite Your Lip)

This debate may or may not be a thing of the past, but the attitudes expressed in this debate affect more than our view of modesty. So let's take a moment to discuss them:

Veronica shared her conviction honestly and humbly without condemnation of others, but many Christians responded angrily. 

✔ Anger: When we don't agree with another believer, why does it make us mad? Anger may be an indication that we know we're wrong but don't want to admit it. (See 5 Tips for Handling Anger) 

✔ Non-essentials: Romans 14 tells us we should be respectful of other Christian's non-essential convictions, even if we don't agree. And if we want to share our viewpoint it's always important that we share it kindly with humility and grace. (See 9 Tips For Leaving Kind Comments)

✔ Rudeness: My Momma said "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." And she got that from Jesus who said we should speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). If we can't disagree without getting personal or rude or self-righteous, then we need to say nothing at all. And we need to examine our heart. (See If You Can't Say Anything Nice.) 

✔ Intentions: "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." Ephesians 4:29 (See Salt & Grace)

✔ Inaccurate comparisons: Some Christians in this yoga pants debate insisted that talking about yoga pants was silly. They felt we should be focusing on more important things like starving children in Africa. (See The Devil is in the Details)

Comparing world problems to Veronica's conviction isn't fair. She wasn't deciding whether to do something about personal modesty or whether to do something about starving children in Africa.

Would we tell a Christian friend we can't pray for her sick child because there's something more important going on in world politics? Of course not. (See Little Messes)

✔ Little things matter: Many people would say that this yoga pants debate was insignificant, a "little thing" for sure. But the feedback made it a big thing, proving that little things often lead to bigger things. Jesus explains this truth: "He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much." Luke 16:10 (NASB)

I think the yoga pants debate has application beyond yoga pants and modesty. It showed us some areas of our Christianity that we need to address. Little things, perhaps, but little things that have big consequences. 

God cares what we wear. And He cares how we express ourselves.

Help us, Lord, to be faithful in the small stuff.

Don’t Freak Out About Your Marriage

In my marriage post Why the Divorce Rate in 1900 Was Only 7%, I explained that most marriages go through periods when love grows lukewarm, when we need to adjust our attitudes so our marriages can thrive.

A young woman left this comment on that post:
“Hi, young wife here, can you describe the periods of lukewarm in your marriage? It kinda freaks me out! Thanks, great post.”

I thought others might also be freaked out by this revelation, especially young marrieds, so I decided to address her question in this post.

1. Not all marriages have to suffer through “lukewarm” periods if spouses are deliberately and continually working on improving their marriages and continually dealing with their sins and selfishness. But most of us are not that good. 

2. All things worthwhile take work, improvement, and readjustment. Feeling lukewarm about your marriage isn’t cause to freak out. In fact, thinking your marriage should always be romantic will give you unrealistic expectations and set you up for deeper disappointment.

3. Beware of certain times in life:

• Transitions— deaths, births, job changes, empty nest, retirement, etc. Transitions are typically “messy.” If you expect this, you won’t be surprised by it. It’s best to look at these times as Opportunities with Thorns. The empty nest was our most difficult time in our marriage. I’d let my children become too important in my life, and without realizing it, my husband and I had grown apart. Those early years of our empty nest were difficult, but we “reinvented” our relationship and it became better than ever before.

• Menopause--Beware of this time, ladies. And be extra gentle and understanding, men. I went through a premature menopause in my 30’s and it created lots of challenges. Make sure you educate yourself about the symptoms and treatments.

• Health changes--Chronic illness and serious illness create new challenges in a marriage.

• Aging--It's natural to tire more easily as we age. We don’t have the same mental or physical agility, and we need to give each other lots of grace.

But the most important thing we need to know about these lukewarm periods is they need not define our marriage. 

They will be temporary if both spouses want the marriage to improve. And the reason I know this is true: because God wants us to have good marriages and He will give us the strength and wisdom to do what it takes. 

We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength (Philippians 4:13)

Did You Marry the Wrong Person?

I married my husband when I was nineteen and not yet a Christian. My reasons for falling in love were pretty "secular": I enjoyed his personality, I was physically attracted to him, I felt comfortable with him and liked how he treated me.

We've been married since September 5, 1970, so I suppose it's too late to ask:

Did I marry the wrong person?

There are many of you out there just like me. You married your husband for worldly reasons. So what does that mean? Could you have married the wrong man? Is there someone out there whom God intended for you? Should you look for him?

I found a quote that has a wonderful answer to this question:
“Although you do want to marry someone you are basically compatible with, marriage has a lot less to do with marrying the right person than it has to do with doing the right things with the person you married.” 

Alisa Bowman, author of Project: Happily Ever After

I might reword this: A healthy marriage has more to do with being the right person than marrying the right person.

Many people make foolish decisions about marriage.

Before we're married, we should do everything we can to avoid a bad match. It's better to remain single than marry a partner who is ungodly. Christians should never, under any conditions, marry an unbeliever (2 Corinthians 6:14; widows: 1 Corinthians 7:39). 

But once we are married, we need to quit asking that question. No good comes from it. 

But great good comes from asking God to make us "the right person" for our spouse.

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Galatians 5:22,23

This week...this day...have you been showing love, joy, peace, forbearance (patience), kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control to your spouse? Are there areas where you need to improve? Ask God for help!

Final thought:

What if you give it your best, and your spouse never changes? Are you free to move on and find another spouse? Honestly, it is a very rare situation for someone to give it their best without seeing some improvement, but there are two important things to remember:

1. Changes take time. We shouldn't expect a "quick-fix." Scripture encourages us to persevere. See Galatians 6:9 and Hebrews 12:1-4.

2. Marriage is a commitment we made before God (Mark 10:9). Even if our spouse never becomes the person we want him/her to be, we can become the person God wants us to be. See Romans 5:3-5 and James 1:12.

Bible Love Notes

Shades of Gray Divorce

I'm always shocked by divorce, but especially when it comes after 20-30 years of marriage.

“Gray divorces” (divorces among couples over age 50) increased from 10% in 1990 to 25% in 2009." And most of these divorces were not over anything dramatic like infidelity. They were caused by couples slowly drifting apart.

While my own marriage went through a difficult transition during the empty nest stage, my husband and I are currently enjoying our senior years of marriage more than any other stage. But statistics show a growing discontent among our peers. 

A good marriage in the senior years depends a great deal on how we deal with our marriage before that stage of life. Very often, couples emotionally divorce before they legally divorce.

How does emotional divorce happen?

When one or both spouses:

• Give up hope that their marriage will ever be better.
• Think their spouse is the only person who needs to change.
• Focus more on children, career, or friends than on their marriage.
• Refuse to forgive.
• Become indifferent.
• Blame their spouse for everything.
• Make separate plans and set separate goals.
• Have no common hobbies or leisure activities.
• Quit communicating in genuine ways.
• Quit listening to their spouse's needs.
• Quit sharing their heart with their spouse.
• Neglect their physical relationship.

Marriage isn’t about honoring a piece of paper (i.e. marriage certificate); it’s about honoring a relationship. 

Biblical principles heal, improve, sustain, and enhance our marriage relationship:

💙 Forgiveness 
Ephesians 4:32: Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.


💙 Perseverance
Galatians 6:9: Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.


💙 Faithfulness
Hebrews 13:4: Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

💙Humble Consideration 
Philippians 2:3: Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.

God wants us to have a vibrant, healthy, growing marriage. But we must do our part by applying God’s principles to our marriages. This is best if it's done throughout our lives, but it's never to late to turn things around!

Have you prayed today for your marriage? Have you asked God to show you areas where you have failed to stay connected to your spouse? Have you asked God to make you sensitive to your spouse’s needs/problems/desires?

"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another...And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." 
Colossians 3:12-14

Bible Love Notes

Little Big Things: 17 Ideas

“Sometimes when you look back, it’s the little things that were the big things.” 

Every evening when I was going through a difficult time, my husband left an encouraging card or note on my pillow so we could read it before we went to bed. This was a “little big thing” in our relationship. 

I did some research and found that experts consider these "little things" important in making a marriage healthy:

1. Compliments. 
2. Laughter. 

See the Merry Heart Collection of 1-minute devotions.

3. Doing things together! 

See 5 Ways to be your Husband's Girlfriend. 
4. Touch. 

See God's Design: Love Hormone.
5. Considerate communication. 

See 6 Rules of Speech.

But I thought they were a little too general, so I created my own list of more specific “little things”:

1. Leave him little love notes (in his lunch, under his pillow, in his pocket). 
2. Make sure you talk everyday. 
3. Occasionally do one of his errands—the one he really dislikes. 
4. Get rid of those old flannel grammy-jammies and sleep in something lacy. 
5. Always say please and thank-you. 

See A Little Politeness Goes a Long Way.

6. Thank him for being a good provider and don't complain about his income. 

See Unappreciated Provider.
7.  Make his favorites foods often. 
8. Praise him in front of others (and on Facebook).

9. Let Him know everyday that you find him attractive. 

See You Look Great!
10. Do something spontaneous and fun whenever possible. 

See Marriage Surprises.
11. Learn something about his favorite sport. 
12. Read a book together. 
13. Keep a journal of things you appreciate about him, and let him read it. 

14. Be quiet when he makes a mistake, especially if you “told him so.” 
15. Hold hands, hug, and snuggle. 
16. Give him a sweet nickname. 

17. Ask his forgiveness when you do something wrong.

See How to Say "I'm Sorry."

As Christians we know that little acts of faithfulness matter to our Lord, and they matter in our marriage as well:
"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." Luke 16:10

Now it’s your turn…leave your ideas of "little big things" in a comment.  

I don't send my marriage posts to subscribers, so check back each week--you'll find the latest post listed on the Marriage page Archive.

6 Benefits of Kissing Our Spouse

I like the ESV translation of Genesis 2:24: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh."

I looked up the Greek word most often translated "join" or "cleave" and this ESV translation is just as accurate. The Greek word dabaq means "to cling, cleave, keep close."

In marriage, we should "hold fast" in our commitment to our marriage vows, but we should also hold fast to our spouse....literally!

And that brings me to hugs and kisses. Everything God created is good, including the kiss.

Kissing not only is a form of affection in appropriate relationships, it's also good for our health and well-being. 

Here are 6 Benefits:

1. It Prevents Cavities:  Kissing helps prevent plaque and cavities by stimulating saliva production.

2. It Tones our Face: Kissing uses 30 facial muscles, toning our face and giving us a glow.

3. It Burns Calories: Kissing releases adrenaline and helps burn 2-5 calories per minute, double the normal rate.

4. It Builds our Immunity: Kissing exposes us to germs and builds our immunity. Of course, it can also give us the flu if our loved one is ill.

5. It Relieves Stress: Kissing puts us in a good mood and reduces our stress. This comes from the release of oxytocin. (Also see Love Hormone and Dog Comfort to find out more about oxytocin.)

6. It Decreases Pain: kissing releases endorphins which help relieve pain.

And it goes without saying that kissing draws us closer, expresses our love, and is fun! Isn't it just like God to give us expressions of love that are so good for us!

I already enjoy kissing my husband, but these benefits make it even more attractive!
