The Sinful Heart and Sports (Tim Keller)

I came across this quote from Tim Keller today:


What an accurate and humbling description of our hearts. This is a reminder of what we already know in the sports world: that the heart, left untended, is an idol factory. It should also serve as motivation for the Christian–whether you are a sports minister, a parent, a coach, etc.–of our role to advocate, educate, and lead in redeeming sports. Do not leave hearts untended. Challenge people to a higher calling regarding their sports.
