“Growing up in a strong Christian environment provided me with
many valuable lessons about family, school, athletics, and, most of all, God.
Like most kids, I idolized one sports figure or another. However, Jesus was the
ultimate role model for me.
In my effort to succeed as a football player, I went through
difficult times, but my experiences paled in comparison to what Jesus endured
during His life: torture, humiliation, and death. Through it all, His attitude
never wavered. His example inspired me to approach life’s trials in a similar
fashion.
Jesus was able to sustain such a positive attitude because of His
unfailing love for everyone around Him. It transformed the lives of all who
came in contact with Him, even His persecutors. Jesus continues to have this
same transformational effect on people today. Regardless of the successes I
have experienced, if my life does not exhibit God’s love, it becomes less
meaningful.”
-- Bart
Starr
“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God
transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will
learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” (Romans 12:2 NLT)
