That's a wonderful answer Violet.
Yes, the Christian Olympics has a Closing Ceremony,which is the rapture of the Church (1Thess.4:16-17)and after that the Reward Ceremony, at the Judgment Seat of Christ(2Cor.5:10).So we see that the Bible compares the Christian race to the Olympic Games. Therefore, as Christians,we are Olympians,spiritual athletes running a marathon race to the finish line.

It truly sounds like a very interesting book.
I AM interested in learning more! I always felt competition wasn't such a good thing though. What can you tell me to convince me otherwise?  |

Violet, you have just mentioned one of the most important messages of the book, and that is competition.
Chapter 5 is all about the competition".My book compares the similarities of the Christian race to the Olympic Games and it also compares the differences. One of the differences is that Christians in the Christian Olympics are not competing against each other. One Christian is not in competition with another Christian. Preachers are not in competition with other preachers. Musicians are not in competition with other musicians and so on and so on. Do you know who our competitors are if it is not each other?

You are on the right track because our competitors are Satan,the flesh, and the world not each other.

You are so right about having.”.. to fight against the flesh always,.... a competition.”
But the same way that the athletes train and discipline themselves so that they can be strong enough to beat their competition. We have spiritual training and spiritual discipline to help us beat our competition. Which I explain in Chapter 3 of my book. Thank you Christianforumsite for this blessed opportunity to stop by on this exciting Virtual Book Tour. God Bless you Violet for featuring “The Christian Olympics” in your showcase. You have been a wonderful hostess. Please tell Jeff that I am praying that he does well in his studies
