OWEN WEDDLE
Good morning! I am Owen Weddle, Associate Pastor at Central United Methodist Church.
The start of college football is right around the corner. We are walking into another year of tail-gating on Saturdays and friendly banter amongst rival fans throughout the week. There is nothing that gets us so excited in the South as a great game of pigskin. And the players put in incredible amount of time in the hopes of receiving the glory of victory and the praise of their fans. No matter how naturally gifted the athletes are physically, there was a lot of training that went into becoming a collegiate player. Many of them have been playing the game since childhood.
The Christian life is much the same way. The Apostle Paul says “Train yourself in godliness.” Following Christ doesn't mean you're perfect. Even the best of us have many struggles. It entails making mistakes and learning from them daily. We start off like children, but as we grow, we are able to perform at a higher level. And while the hard physical training receives the praise of fans, training in godliness receives the praise of God.
May God bless you throughout this day!
