Description

Sport is one of the many evidences of a gracious God. It can unite people, sharing together in the enjoyment it brings. But it brings the challenge of proper stewardship under God, especially when working with young people. Are they being encouraged to use their gifts and time to God’s glory? Are you ensuring that they are living by God’s Word, rather than prioritising their sport? There is a lot to learn about how God wants us to live through sports – both on and off the field.

The theological insights challenge us to see our sports experiences in light of God’s Story: his good creation, people’s rebellion, Jesus’ provision of redemption, and God’s promise of final restoration

Some athletes, even Christian ones, fall into the trap of glorifying themselves rather than God, and thanking Him for wins but not losses. John Perritt’s well–written look at stewardship in sports gets it right: Time Out! can show parents, coaches, and athletes how to use sports to win victories in life.
