Exhortation #22 "And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules." (2 Tim. 2:5) In the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, Ben Johnson of Canada won the one-hundred-meter dash, setting a new Olympic record and a new world record. Our American contender, Carl Lewis, came in second, and most were shocked that he hadn't won the gold. After the race, the judges learned that Johnson had an illegal substance in his body. He ran the race illegally, so the judges took away his medal. Though he ran faster and made an unforgettable impression, he did not deserve the reward. Though the world and even our fellow Christians may be impressed with and applaud our deeds, let's not forget that God is the final judge! (Charles R. Swindoll, Hope Again, p. 34.) Let us continue to serve God in the way He has ordained in His word. http://oakridgechurch.com/exhortations/reading.asp?ReadingNbr=22 |
