Your Spiritual Olympics! - Rex J Morgan - June 1984

God's Word shows us many spiritual lessons we can learn from the Olympic Games. Excitement is now rapidly mounting worldwide as hundreds of millions of people look forward to viewing, either in person or on television, one of the world's greatest sporting events, the Summer Olympic Games. The Games this year will be in Los Angeles, Calif. Did you know that ancient Games in Greece, the forerunners of the modern Olympics, are mentioned in the Bible? During the days of the early Church, the Olympic Games were an important and famous event every four years, just as they are today. The apostle Paul used these Games, with which most everyone of his day was familiar, to help him explain vital spiritual principles. The same principles apply to God's people today! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
