Three passages that athletes should trade out for
something better
Theologians call the
convenient application of a Scripture passage to our personal circumstances or
interests “prooftexting.” Some teachers may do this deceptively, but most
believers do it lazily or accidentally. Understanding the context of a passage
helps us keep a check on our prooftexting and challenges us to apply the verse
to our lives as it was meant to be applied, not how we would like it to be applied. Desiring to be
more careful with our Scripture application, then, let’s look at three passages
that may need to be phased out of use by Christian athletes.
