J.R.R. Tolkien was convinced that he would never finish "The Lord of The Rings". But through fellowship with other Christians, such as C.S. Lewis, Tolkien persevered. During this time, Tolkien wrote a brilliant parable called, "Leaf by Niggle". In this four-day plan, I’ll highlight biblical truths from that short story which give us great hope for our work today.

In this 4-part devotional we will talk about life and its unique rhythms. Each of us has been dealt a completely original hand and we must each learn to live content with the hand we have been given, whilst also striving to be all that we can be for Christ.

The Christian life sometimes feels like a long, winding race. The race has its rules, and we must run so that we can win. Doing this will require hard work and sacrifice to achieve top performance. This second reading plan of the RUN TO WIN series will open our eyes to see God as the Heavenly Coach who takes us to victory.

This four-day reading plan explores how to RESET, RENEW, REFUEL, and be READY in a competitor’s sport and faith. To learn more about the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, visit fca.org.

Maybe you have been told that you’re one of the most dedicated players on the team. Or maybe that is what you want to be. When it comes to your dedication to God’s team—the one that matters most—what kind of player would Jesus say you are? Just as an athlete is recruited to play a sport, Jesus recruits you to play in the spiritual game of life. Standards that make a good athlete include strength, confidence, and hard work. What about God’s standards? We can use God’s Word to evaluate the way we choose to live. Every effective team works toward a common goal. The purpose of this Bible study and devotional is to help encourage, inspire, and build committed Christian athletes who desire to consistently follow Christ’s game plan. No more “game-day-only” athletes. Playing on God’s team is about being an everyday follower of Jesus, on and off the field, in and out of season!
