Last month, I wrote a tongue-in-cheek article with the above heading. I made a list of 17 things one can do to avoid being persecuted and still claim to be a follower of Jesus Christ. Even though I know it is impossible for a true follower of Jesus Christ to avoid persecution, I realize that thousands of people attempt to do this all the time.

Yes, I know, the Bible teaches that all that live godly shall suffer persecution. Paul wrote: “Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Tim. 3:12). Jesus also stated that those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness are indeed blessed (See Matt. 5:Lindy McDanielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12390085674737383929noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713285613070967376.post-32487458928354388362012-07-09T07:45:00.002-07:002014-01-17T13:32:19.364-08:00Paul's Use Of Athletic Language -- Part Two
Last month I wrote about Paul’s use of athletic language and dealt briefly with the history of the Greek/Roman games. Altlhough these games were popular throughout the empire, neither the Jews nor the Christians participated. The reason had to do with three main factors: (1) the games were dedicated to honor pagan gods; (2) nakedness was involved; and (3) the games became increasing violent.

The main references are found in I Corintians 9:24-27; Phil. 3:12-14; I Timothy 4:8; 2 Timothy 2:5; 4:7-8; and Hebrews 12:1-2. In addition there are many other words that are rooted in athletic language scattered throughout the epistles.

Occasionally I receive letters from outstanding Christian athletes or their parents as to what to expect when choosing sports as a profession, and how one can remain a Christian in such occupations. Professional sports present special hazards for the Christian and tend to encourage lifestyles out of harmony with Christian principles. This is especially true today. I have written about this inLindy McDanielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12390085674737383929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713285613070967376.post-82525925076791178762012-04-02T08:04:00.002-07:002014-01-17T14:33:21.827-08:00Coming Out Of The Closet
Pitching For The Master links sports and religion together in order to teach lessons to promote godly living. There are many valuable lessons derived from sports that help to illustrate how men and women are to think in spiritual terms. The apostle Paul often used the language of sports to teach truths that are vastly more important than running a race or engaging in the Greek/Roman games.Lindy McDanielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12390085674737383929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713285613070967376.post-57764300186964099742012-03-14T12:46:00.002-07:002012-03-14T12:50:50.583-07:00Where Does God's Wisdom Apply?Recently I have been teaching the book of Proverbs to some of the young people at our congregation, and the first chapter states that it is addressed to both young and old, the experienced as well as the inexperienced (naive, etc.) See Pro. 1:2-5.
