Have you ever been made to feel that being a sports minister is not as high a calling as other ministry positions? Or, have you been told that sport is good but not as good, or valuable as other pursuits?

In this edition of our Daily Huddle our discussion is focused on the athletic Greek word Paul was inspired to write to the Christians of the church in ancient Collosae: Katabrabeuo’  which is interpreted in Colossians 2:18 as “to give an unfavorable decision” or to “disqualify.”

Just as “unrighteous sports officials” in the ancient Greek games would at times unjustly “disqualify” an athlete, today church “officials” sometimes make “unfavorable” and might I add, unbiblical decisions… in regards to sport and sport ministry…saying they are less than other ministries, callings or pursuits.

So the action point for today is…to not let anyone “disqualify” you from God’s call on your life to play, compete and minister in the world of sport.
