Fw: Putting Down the Weights

Team:

Today's coach is Pastor Adrian Rogers. Here is equates our Sports life to our Spiritual life. Paul the Apostle did this a lot.

2000 years ago they had the Greek Olympic Games. These athletes were very dedicated and very strict on their Workout Program: what food they ate, how hard they worked and how much sleep and rest they got.

They wanted to Win the Gold Metal.

The same is true in our Spiritual Lives.

You are a Champion!

Just Go! Win the Day!

Phil 4:13

Putting Down the Weights

BIBLE

MEDITATION: "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any."
1 Corinthians 6:12

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: There are certain weights that an athlete chooses to lay aside. They are not bad for other people, but they are bad for the athlete. In the spiritual realm, it is the same for Christians. Paul tells us, "all things are not expedient." The word "expedient" is similar to the word "expedition."

You see, Christians are going somewhere, and if something doesn't speed us along the way, then it is excess baggage and we need to get rid of it.

ACTION POINT: Ask God today, "Are there legitimate, lawful things in my life that are keeping me from running the race?" It might be a hobby, friendship, recreational sport, or a cabin in the mountains. It is not bad; it just keeps you from maximizing your life for the Lord Jesus Christ. You must lay it aside.
