Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

It is said of great athletes -- truly great athletes -- that they have not only exceptional talents and abilities, but they also make others around them better. St. Paul in the Epistle today mentioned athletes and competing. He says that Christians should be like that -- and even more! For we're not competing for a perishable wreath, or crown, or to make a name for ourself today that will be forgotten tomorrow. Our crown, our name, as Christians, is eternal. So we should live that way! But... what does that mean?
