Story: Believers sweat at first Christian gym chain. 31-10-2003. ABC News Online

The sign over the leg-press machine proclaims: "The weakness of God is stronger than 
man's strength" and the stock greeting among employees and clients is a simple, "God 
bless you!" 

Over the bench press machine are the words: "As iron sharpens iron, so one man 
sharpens another." 

Welcome to Lord's Gym, America's first Christian fitness club chain, where members 
with "His Pain Your Gain" tee-shirts use running machines, the Lion of Judah a symbol 
in the background at this south Florida gym.

It got me thinking (always dangerous!)

What next? 
(1) A Christian fast food joint?
"Manna-burgers"
"Christ Cola"
"Lamb-of-God Burgers"
"Shadrack Shake"
"Daniel Donuts" (for those with a lion-sized craving for sugar)
etc

(2) We already have an investment arm of the UCA, but... Church Bank 
- Mobile Lenders: "We minister to your loan needs in your own home."
- Online Banking: "Transactions at the speed of the Lord's light."
- Teller Machines in booths: "Every transaction is between you and God."
