PRINCIPLES OF COMPETITION

MY INTRODUCTION TO CHRISTIAN ATHLETICS

PRINCIPLES APPLY TO ANY KIND OF COMPETITION God is my audience and He gets the glory 1 Cor 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

PRINCIPLES APPLY TO ANY KIND OF COMPETITION God is my audience and He gets the glory John 17:4 I have glorified Thee on the earth: I have finished the work Thou gavest me to do.

PRINCIPLES APPLY TO ANY KIND OF COMPETITION I will do my best in practice and in competition Col 3:22-24 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye service, as men pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God; 23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

PRINCIPLES APPLY TO ANY KIND OF COMPETITION Paul knew sports and compared the Christian life to them 1 Cor 9: Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
