1/30/10 A LESSON ON LIVING (sports)

A LESSON ON LIVING (sports)
I played Pickleball with a guy whose life is on Self Destruct mode, and he is determined to take others with him. I lost 1 set because of his attitude; but he is the real loser, because he won't make room for Christ.

Our Actions & Attitude can affect other people's victory (good or bad). Some people don't mind playing to win, but when they are getting beaten, suddenly they are not very interested in the game or the score. Or, they don't mind crushing you, but when you “whup up” on them, they become agitated.

Real winners and losers are not determined by game scores.

PHILIPPIANS 4:4-8
4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
