How to do sports God’s way. This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

The discipline, training, and perseverance that sports demands provides fertile ground for the revealing and development of character. Scripture even uses athletic analogies to make spiritual points.

And yet sports can be perilous. Pride, greed, anxiety, and temptations abound. Families find out that sports can quickly overwhelm their time and values.

Colossians 3:23 is a good starting point to pursuing sports God’s way: Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.
