If you are into sports then this free booklet by C.J Mahaney would be very good to listen to. It is aimed at athletes/sports people, parents and coaches – and is focused on bringing glory to God. Whilst the booklet is not free, you can download the sermon free, or watch the video below.
There is a really good write up of why “Don’t Waste Your Sports” is a useful by Jeff Robinson, here is a little extract:
There are many, many things I appreciate about our dear brother C.J. Mahaney, but perhaps nothing more than this wonderful reality: he has rescued sports from both old-school fundamentalist rejection (“sports are sinful”) and evangelical lite silliness (“on the ballfield, be like David and slay your Goliath”)
C.J. has redeemed sports by thoughtfully showing how Christian athletes and fans should, consistent with Paul’s admonition in 1 Cor. 10:31, play and follow sports to the glory of God. C.J. has done it in his teaching and preaching ministry and his theologically-informed wisdom is available in a new booklet from Crossway Don’t Waste Your Sports.
There is a video below or you can download a free Don’t Waste Your Sports mp3 as well.
