Seeing Eternal Realities in the Olympic Games - Blog - Eternal Perspective Ministries
Some timely biblical thoughts with the Olympics going on now: The Bible doesn’t mention baseball, basketball, or football, but God has something explicit to say about the Olympics. Paul, explains John Piper, took the well-known Olympics and taught the Christians to transpose them into a different level, and to see in the Games a reality very different than everyone else is seeing. I want you to transpose the temporary struggles and triumphs of the Olympic Games onto a different level of reality — the level of spiritual life and eternity and God.

Temperance: Love Keeping Itself Whole
We don’t use the word “temperance” much anymore. In the pastoral epistles, temperance (or “self-control”) is a chief virtue. Every man and woman is to learn it (1 Timothy 2:9, 15; Titus 2:2, 5-6). Every church leader is to model it (1 Timothy 3:2; Titus 1:8). But what is it? The Vices & The Mean While virtue is always a mean between two extremes, in the case of temperance, this is quite literally the case. Temperance means moderation or balance. Temperance, as we will speak of it, comes from …
