Training to become a God-Athlete.

1 Timothy 4:7-8
7 Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly. 8 “Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”

Any athlete has to undergo major adjustments in their life in order to prepare for the all important race or match later in the season. Training often brings pain and discomfort along with it. It can even mean injuries if one is not careful. Once injury occurs, it can be extremely challenging to resume normal events and to continue with what you love.

After recovery, physical therapy is a must. Through time and determination, however, it is certainly possible for a miracle or unexpected return to the sport to occur. In order to do that though, you have to defeat the physical barriers.

Do you think it's easy to be a Christian? Certainly not. The world is physical barrier and you have to avoid those barriers whenever and wherever you can. Discipline yourself, train yourself, accept that it will be a challenge, and you my friend, can become an athlete in training for Christ!
