Excerpt from Help! I am a Teenager Chapter 3: A Word to a Teenage Athlete

This nation needs some Christian athletes that will stand up and cry out against what we see in sports today. Today's sports are corrupt with steroids, rapes, illegal gun ownership, drug raids, cheating and beating their wives, and brawls with fans and other athletes.

We need some Christian teenagers to share the gospel with their teammates and pray with them. I will encourage you to do so, in I Corinthians 10:31 “whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (KJV)

Being a teammate means being there to uplift when things are not good, being a teammate also means to share in the special moments when things are going well.

Some of the best teams share a unity, a bond and together they accomplish many great things. The Yankees in the 90's, the Cowboys, the Redskins, the Chicago Bulls, and Lakers, these teams were made up of individuals with a common goal, to win championships.

God wants to make you a champion, but you can't do it alone, I want you to think of your youth group or your church. God placed you there for a reason. He gave you this place of worship, and as individuals to make up a team. He wants you to become a champion, He wants your Youth group to become champions. A youth group who sticks together and grows together accomplishes many wonderful things. A youth group with a good leader and teens who want to be led, can achieve greatness. Look around you, no matter the city or town you are in, you as a group of individuals can form a team, and set your town on fire for God.

I believe the youth is not the church of tomorrow, it is the church of today. Our youth in our church do a lot of many wonderful things. Our youth I believe is the driving force. Your church needs to see you out front and seeing you are part of a team who wants to win. Join the youth choir, start a teen bible study, become active in your church, be apart of God's Championship team.
