The Spiritual Side


I recently had a conversation that started out about football but ended up on God. Basically where we ended up, I was asked if I really thought God cared about football. To which I answered YES I BELIEVE HE DOES!

So how do you get to the spiritual side of everything? How do you know there is spirituality in everything? For me, I look at the beginning,
John 1:3 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

In 1 Col chp 1, about vs 15, the bible tells us about the supremacy of God. that all things were actually made for Him. And He is the glue that holds everything together. Yes there is a spiritual side to all things.

SO, how do we find that spiritual side? How can I see the spiritual side of a sports event, a tractor pull, or even a wrestling match? 

When I was teaching youth we talked about spiritual gifts and how God has wired us. My main focus was "what are you good at right now?"  For some that was basketball, some video games, some would answer "nothing". We would all say to a child, you're good at something! So that's what I say to you. It's through you that God makes all things spiritual. At your work or play, you carry the spirit of God.

We all might not see the spiritual side in every situation, but that doesn't mean its not there. How do I bring the spiritual side out,

Proverbs 3:5-

 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
   and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
   and he will make your paths straight


In all our ways............ Love David.

YOU GOT SKILLS..........


So you got skills? WHY YES YOU DO!

At our church office you can walk by the desks of the staff members and they all have these letters on their desks. One day I happened to stop and read one of theirs. After working with this person awhile and now reading what this said I thought wow! That seems right on the money!

It was a personality test. But what it revealed to me, was how do you best communicate and interact with this person.

Ephesians 4:11-13

11 And He personally gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, 12 for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God's Son, [growing] into a mature man with a stature measured by Christ's fullness.

The reason I"m writing this is because of the scripture above. God has built each one in a unique way. But also with the need and ability to come together as one "Church" and work two-gather. (unity in the faith) so we need to know all we can about our comrades in this battle in which we have a common partner Jesus Christ. 

After taking my personality test it told me I was an ESTJ-THE GUARDIANS

There are several different categories.

  • ISTJ - The Duty Fulfillers

  • ESTJ - The Guardians

  • ISFJ - The Nurturers

  • ESFJ - The Caregivers

  • ISTP - The Mechanics

  • ESTP - The Doers

  • ESFP - The Performers

  • ENTP - The Visionaries

  • INTP - The Thinkers

  • ENFJ - The Givers

  • INFJ - The Protectors

  • ENFP - The Inspirers

  • INFP - The Idealists


  • Just for fun won't you take this little quiz, see what the results are, and give it all a good praying over.

    love ya- David
