The Christian Competitor's Creed

I am a Christian first and last.
I am created in the likeness of  God Almighty to bring Him glory.
I am a member of team Jesus Christ.
I wear the colors of the cross.                                                       

I am a competitor now and forever.
I am made to strive, to strain, to stretch and to succeed in the arena of competition.
I am a Christian Competitor and as such, I face my challenger with the face of Christ.

I do not trust in myself.
I do not boast in my abilities or believe in my own strength.
I rely solely on the power of God.
I compete for the pleasure of my Heavenly Father, the honor of Christ and the reputation of the Holy Spirit.

My attitude on and off the field is above reproach - my conduct beyond criticism.
Whether I am preparing, practicing or playing;
I submit to God's authority and those He has put over me.
I respect my coaches, officials, teammates and competitors  out of respect for the Lord.

My body is the temple of Jesus Christ.
I protect it from within and without.
Nothing enters my body that does not honor the Living God.
My sweat is an offering to my Master.
My soreness is a sacrifice to my Savior.

I give my all - all of the time.
I do not give up. I do not give in.
I do not give out.
I am the Lord's warrior - a competitor by conviction and a disciple of determination.

I am confident beyond reason because my confidence lies in Christ.
The results of my efforts must result in His glory.

LET THE COMPETITION BEGIN.
LET THE GLORY BE GOD'S.

Victoria Per Perseverantiam Venit

Through Perseverance Comes Victory

God has made each of us an amazing creation in His image.

I am outstanding, with an amazing future ahead of me.

I am different to say the least.

I strive and pride myself for being unlike others.

When others walk, I run.

When others run I sprint.

When others sprint, I fly because I am no ordinary athlete.

I reach far beyond the sky.

To say the least, I am simply amazing.
