Training

Have you ever seen someone walking through the streets of Bethlehem wearing a sporty tracksuit,?

عربى

They have the tracksuit bottoms and top, They even have the Nike shoes to go with the outfit.

Yet they are really over weight.

Their belly comes out of there clothes.

Its not the sort of image you imagine of someone who wears sports clothes.

When you think of sports clothes, you think of someone athletic, thin, someone who looks healthy.

You can put someone into sports clothes but that doesn't mean he is an athlete.

He won't be going to the Olympics any time soon.

The clothes don't make the athlete, its the attitude of hard work and determination that makes an athlete.

Its the sacrifice of time, training in the sport.

Its eating the right food.

It takes a lot of discipline to be an athlete.

Today if you go to church it doesn't mean you are a Christian.

A Christian is someone who has given their life over to God and lives for him daily.

No church in the world will save us from our sin, Only Jesus done that and we need to trust him, we need to train our self to be his disciple.

We need to get into God's word, Get to know what God is saying about me.

We need to give over time to God in Prayer, hearing God's heart for our lives.

We need to train ourselves to be godly.

Like the athlete, Discipleship will cost.

Are you willing to pay the price ?
