Avoid Disqualification

Disqualify. It’s a disheartening word in athletics.

Imagine that you work toward a championship only to realize your efforts do not count because the referee disqualified you.

This is the illustration Paul gave in 1Corinthians 9:24-27.

• Are there currently things in your life that might disqualify you?
• Take some time to meditate on the passage.
• Commit to being a leader who runs the race without disqualification.
