You’ve all been to the stadium and seen the athletes race. Everyone runs; one wins. Run to win. All good athletes train hard. They do it for a gold medal that tarnishes and fades. You’re after one that’s gold eternally.

The above passage comes from the book of 1 Corinthians 9:24-25. Modern day translation would be “Be Game Ready!” The apostle Paul admonished us to train hard and go after that Eternal Gold Medal, the same way an athlete trains and prepares themselves for an upcoming sporting event. We shouldn’t wait till the day of to get ready, but instead we should be always training, ever learning and growing stronger and stronger as we go about spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We must be in a constant state of Readiness. Let’s maintain a state of “Game Readiness” and “Train to Win” Ya Heard!
