Adult Sports
Devotional Materials...A Whole Season's Worth!
Hey
sports fans, have you ever thought about what happens when sports, our
faith and life all come together? It's an awesome thing to
think
about. Have you ever thought about the Theology of Sports as
a
possible devotional topic for all your Adult Sports Leagues?
Every season I'm confronted with the challenge to bring
something
new and different to the table as I deal, as I'm sure you do, with both
believers and non-believers in my leagues. The information I
found through the ministry and writings of Stuart Weir, who for many
years has been involved in both Christians In Sport (in England) as
well as CSRM, turned out to be invaluable, eye opening and inspiring to
Christians and non-Christians alike.
What I simply did was take
Stuart's writings and craft them for my ministry, and for the people I
would be dealing with. You know the old saying, "There's
nothing
new under the sun," well, take this material and make it your own.
I hope you'll find it as useful to what you are trying to
accomplish with the men and women you are ministering to in your
leagues as I did.
As a side note...we always put our devotional
material in a booklet format and pass the entire season of devotions
out at the first game. We challenge our participants to
consider
these booklets an important part of the equipment they need as they
participate in our league and we have found that it really helps the
men and women engage in the process when they can follow along.
