The document discusses Christianity as an active participation rather than a spectator sport. It says that in Christianity, God is the coach who challenges believers to get in the game by playing the position he gives them. While there will be opposition and losing ground at times, believers must never give up striving for the goal God has for them, pressing on toward the prize as referenced in a Bible passage. It also advertises two youth Bible study programs with sports themes - "Go for the Gold" about the concepts of salvation, and "Destined to Win" on running the Christian race.

Spectator
Sport?
Are you playing the
position the Coach
(God) has put you in?

Someone once described a
football game as twenty-two
men on the field badly in need
of rest being watched by
seventy-two thousand people
in the stands badly in need of
exercise.

While football may be a
spectator sport for most of us,
Christianity certainly should
never be. We must get involved
in the action. God is the coach
and he challenges us to get on
the field and play the game.
We don’t have to be the MVP, we
just need to play the position
God gives us. Everyone makes
mistakes on the field. But God
gives us the “grace” to make
mistakes, while not losing sight of
our goal.

There will be opposition,
there will be progress and at
other times we may lose
ground. But we must never
give up striving for the Goal
God has for us.

Philip. 3:12-17
Not that I have already obtained
all this, or have already been
made perfect, but I press on to
take hold of that for which Christ
Jesus took hold of me. [13]
Brothers, I do not consider myself
yet to have taken hold of it. But
one thing I do: Forgetting what is
behind and straining toward what
is ahead, [14] I press on toward
the goal to win the prize for which
God has called me heavenward in
Christ Jesus.
