The weather is finally cooling down and fall has officially arrived. I am ready for the fun that comes with the season. Of course football is in full swing, pumpkin patches are open with their exciting corn mazes, hay rides, and apple cider, kids are getting their costumes ready for Halloween, “Booing” starts in the neighborhoods, back-yard bonfires bringing s’mores and warmth on a cold night, and you will find kids jumping in piles of leaves. It is a great time of year.
This month we are highlighting fishing, which is our feature story. Our family has always loved to fish when we camp and I am amazed at how many fish our little girl catches with her Barbie fishing pole. I didn’t realize how many opportunities there were for kids to play in tournaments in our area. I also discovered that there are college schol-arships that can be earned in this sport. I think you will enjoy this feature.
We welcome Jacob Renie who is a new intern for Game Day. He is a junior at Sandy Creek High School. He plays baseball and swims for SCHS. After graduation, Jacob plans on pursuing a sports journalism career at either Indiana University or Missouri.

High SchoolAthletes of the Month
Matt Mosgrove
McIntosh High School
Abby Baker
MHS’s senior Sarah-Catherine’s heart lies in two very different teams for two very different sports. “Volleyball is mentally challenging while lacrosse is my physical challenge,” stated Sarah-Catherine. In the fall, Sarah-Catherine, whose teammates call her Sarah-Cat, plays volleyball for MHS. She has been playing since the 7th grade. “I don’t really know why I started. I always loved playing sports since I was little, so I guess it was the first opportu-nity to be a part of the team.” The team is her favorite part about volleyball. “We get along really well so it’s kind of like a family; if we have a bad day or need help in school, we are always there for each other.” Sarah-Cat played club, North Atlanta, and TCA for her fresh-man and sophomore years, but quit her junior year to try her hand at lacrosse. Last spring she picked up a LAX stick for the first time and made the MHS varsity team. She stated, “I picked it up and ended up starting in a few games last year.” Though she does not wish to play on a college team, she has not ruled out playing rec or intramurals in college.
Abby, who is a junior on the varsity volleyball team at Whitewater, began playing vol-leyball in middle school. She wanted to try something new, yet she hardly played. After a lot of practice and hard work, she grew to love the sport and has played skillfully ever since. Now volleyball remains a large part of her life. She has been a member of Tsunami, a popular travel team for elite players. Her club team won region and went on the take third place at nationals; however, her involvement in the sport does not stop at her club team. At Whitewater she was part of a team that won the AAAA State Champi-onship. After high school, Abby plans to continue playing volleyball in college. Though unsure which college, she hopes to get a volleyball scholarship. Abby says that her favorite part about volleyball is the team aspect, “The team is like my sisters rather than just people who have your back on your side of the net.” She states that she is “best at defense and passing” and that she is good at “being a leader” while she is on the court as well.
Sarah-Catherine Dannelly
Starr’s Mill High SchoolAs a senior captain and center on the Starr’s Mill football team, Matt Mosgrove deals with more than just adrenaline and leadership during the season. He is involved in Health Oc-cupations Students of America (HOSA), Beta Club, National Honor Society, and his youth group at Peachtree City First Presbyterian. He’s recently been honored as an Eagle Scout and keeps a 4.0 GPA while taking four Advanced Placement (AP) classes this year. Mos-grove started playing football at age four, participating in various varsity sports like track and wresting as an underclassman. As a three-year varsity player on the football team, Mosgrove loves “being part of a band of brothers and being part of something bigger than [himself. He thinks] the best part is the intensity and excitement of each game.” He said that he looks up to offensive-coach Bryan Holley because “he’s a great role model on and off the field religiously and he’s passionate about the game.” Mosgrove plans to apply to several colleges this year, including the Georgia Institute of Technology, Duke University, and Sam-ford University.

Landmark Christian School
Sandy Creek High School
Kenyah Smith
Jaquay Williams
Fayette County High SchoolKenyah, a senior at Fayette County High School, is a 4 year starter for the softball team. This season she has stepped up as a leader for a young team. Kenyah leads both verbally and by example. At the mid-point of the season she is leading the team in most offensive categories, including a .478 batting average. Not only does she play a strong second base on defense, but she is also athletic enough to play almost any position on the field.
Jaquay Williams may be new to Sandy Creek, but he is certainly not new to the game of football. A 6’4”, 207 pound senior, this guy brings a lot to the gridiron as Sandy Creek’s new star wide receiver. Already his fast legs and excellent hands have helped lead Sandy Creek to two big wins. His favorite part of the season so far has been beating Whitewa-ter. Even though he is new, he could feel the rivalry and said, “We had no choice but to win.” Other than football, he also enjoys playing basketball and track. When asked about Jaquay, the coaches replied that he has had a “great start to the year, on and off the field. Williams is an outstanding young man with a very bright future.” He is also a team player and wants to encourage his teammates to “keep working hard every day, in the weight room and off the field. And let’s win another state championship.” Keep up the good work Jaquay.
Olivia Schmitz
Callie Thompson is a senior at Landmark Christian School and a member of the softball team. She has played softball since the 6th grade, both on school teams and travel teams. She has contributed her skills for two years to the Landmark softball program, earning the team’s Best Defensive Player honor her junior year. Callie is a true competi-tor whose passion for the game is obvious on the field. This year Callie is playing a solid short stop and is the team’s lead-off hitter. Her batting average is an impressive .400, and she leads the team in stolen bases and runs scored. While Callie’s incredible determina-tion and aggressiveness on the field have propelled her to become a strong leader on her team, she has also applied these qualities to her academics. Her discipline and hard work have propelled her to the top 10% of her class at Landmark. Callie is a smart and well-rounded young lady, participating in multiple sports at Landmark. While she does not yet know her plans for after high school, it is certain that she will use her talents and work ethic to excel in the future.

Middle SchoolAthletes of the Month
Christian AlexanderFlat Rock Middle School
Booth Middle SchoolHunter Best
In today’s world it is easy to focus on the star players of the game, but what about the man behind the scenes? He often gets looked over even though without him, there would be no game to play. Christian Alexander is one such man. He was nominated as Flat Rock’s Athlete of the Month because, according to Coach Travis, “He is the hardest worker I have ever seen. He gets water every day for practice. He helps dress one of our special education players that we have on our team, he never complains, and he always asks what else he could do! He makes great grades and never is in trouble.” His favorite part of being the team manager is hanging out with the team and getting to go to the games. He is very humble and a man of strong character. When asked if he wanted to say anything else, he told Game Day, “I would just like to say thank you to the coaches for the opportu-nity.” You go Christian!
Hunter Best is the captain and quarterback of the J.C. Booth football team. For the past nine years Hunter has dedicated much of his time and energy to improving his football skills. When asked what he likes best about football, Hunter was quick to say that he loves being part of a team. The J.C. Booth football coach, David Munoz, says, “Hunter is a hard-worker and a great team player.” Hunter developed his perseverance and de-termination on the football field because of his inspiration from Brett Favre. Brett Favre is Hunter’s role model because he always endures through the game and never gives up. The football field is not the only place Hunter spends his time. He likes to play other team sports like baseball and basketball. When Hunter is not playing football, he is do-ing something outdoors. To achieve all responsibilities as quarterback and team captain, Hunter goes above and beyond expectations for the team and the sport.
Landmark Chrisitian SchoolCamden CusumanoCamden Cusumano, an 8th grader, is playing his fifth year of football at Landmark. He currently plays center and defensive tackle and has been a big part of the War Eagle success. One of Camden’s football coaches says, “His motor is always at full throttle when he plays and is always going until the whistle blows. Camden is a great player and more importantly, a great young man.” Camden is also on the wrestling team and the track team at Landmark. This is his 4th year wrestling and his 3rd year running track. He believes that participating in all three of these sports gives him great opportunities to become mentally and physically stronger. This summer, Camden par-ticipated in an intense summer conditioning program with his coaches where he was pushed to the limit physically. The workouts were incredibly challenging, but Camden agrees that his stamina and endurance improved because of the level of expectation. The credit for Camden’s work ethic goes first to his dad for “teaching me that the only things I can control are my attitude and my effort” and to his coaches who have taught him to “strive for excellence but not to get mad when I make mistakes.”

Camryn Koontz
Samantha DeJesus, an 8th grader at Fayette Middle, plays second base for the Lady Cubs softball team. She stared playing softball three years ago for a recreational league before playing for FMS. Samantha’s favorite thing about playing softball is, “Playing in the field and catching the ball, running the bases after a hit, and cheering for the pitcher while playing the field. Pitchers have a hard job and need their teammates’ support. I love being part of a team, being with teammates, and playing together.” She has learned a lot from playing the sport and said, “If you lose, there’s another game to focus on. Always show class and dignity, even when you lose.” When not playing softball, Samantha enjoys reading, hanging out with friends and family, and she would like to start playing volleyball. Her future goals are to finish high school and then travel to different places.

Parker KleppingerI have been cheerleading since I was 7 years old when I started cheering for the Brooks Bears. I have had great coaches ever since and they have always challenged me to do my best. The thing I like most about cheerleading is getting to be a part of a team and constantly working and practicing to improve my skills. This year I have had the privilege of being WMS cheerleading team captain. I love all my teammates and am so proud of them. In addition to cheering for WMS, I also tumble at ACE in Tyrone. My other interests include playing violin, listening to music, and my favorite subject is history. I like to spend time with my four brothers and my wonderful Mom and Dad. I like participating in pro-grams in the youth group at my church. My future goals include continuing to cheer and eventually becoming a missionary and spreading the Word of Christ to foreign countries. Joshua 1:9
Camryn has been involved with cheerleading and gymnastics for three years. Her favorite thing about cheerleading is being able to demonstrate her spirit and enthusiasm for the Bennett’s Mill Broncos. The best thing about cheering for BMMS is the other girls on her squad (with whom she has bonded very quickly) and the great coaching staff. Be-ing on the BMMS cheerleading squad has taught Camryn how much teamwork matters and that the team can only succeed if everyone works together. Her advice for younger kids who want to cheer in middle school is to never give-up. If you don’t make the team your first year, keep practicing and you will do better next year. Camryn loves to swim and she is also an avid surfer. She also likes to spend time with her friends and family. Camryn’s goal is to keep improving her cheerleading skills and to hopefully make her high school team.
A standout eighth grade softball player for Rising Starr, Morgan is an invaluable player for the defending champion Panthers. She has been playing softball for eight years and plans on continuing playing next year at Starr’s Mill. Coach Wendy Ashmore says of Morgan, “Morgan is a gamer! She always comes ready to play and is always thinking about her next move. She is very coachable because of her positive, can-do attitude.” In school, Morgan is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Fishing Club. She also enjoys riding her go-cart, hanging out with friends, and cheering on the Atlanta Braves and Georgia Bulldogs. Morgan’s future plans include working for the FBI.

Shoulder Injuries in FootballMichael Cushing, MD
High school athletes’ risk of shoulder injuries varies by sport. Football poses the greatest risk of shoulder injury, followed distantly by wrestling and baseball. Players are 3x more likely to be injured during competition than practice. Shoulder injuries vary by position as well. Quarterback is the position which is related to most injuries. This is due to throwing and the direct contact trauma that happens at this position.
The types of shoulder injuries varies. Most common is sprains and strains which account for approximately 40%. This is followed by dislocations and AC separations. Given the
large number of sprains and strains, many athletes can return to play within 1 week. Consultation and clearance by an appropriate professional is recommended. Often early treatment with ice, NSAIDS and physical therapy can help speed the recovery. More extensive injuries like dislocations, separations and fractures frequently keep athletes out for more than 3 weeks. The good news for young athletes is that only 7% of shoulder injuries require surgery.
Shoulder injuries in football are usually caused by direct contact, either with another player or the ground. Shoulder dislocations commonly occur when a player reaches out to tackle and the arm is hyper abducted. Posterior instability is commonly seen in linemen due to the direct posterior force placed on the shoulder with blocking. AC separations (which is the point where the collarbone joins the shoulder blade) occur when there is direct contact on the superior aspect of the shoulder. This can occur with blocking or landing on the top of the shoulder.
Football players can take several preventative steps to lessen the chance of a shoulder injury. First, is to wear proper fitting shoulder pads. Proper tackling and blocking technique is important as well. Keeping hydrated and hav-ing ample rest. A sport-specific strength and conditioning program can improve strength, stability and balance to the shoulder joint.

Whether you are looking for an awesome experience for the family or a fresh approach to teaching leadersip and communications to your organization, this is the place. We provide an active and exciting experience for kids and adults.
Whether its siting back with friends and family or being involved in the thrill of the chase, fishing has become a dynamic pas-
time that people of all ages can enjoy. Local lakes and tournaments make fishing an easy activity to get started. Fishing, however, is not just a leisure activity. There are youth and adult tournaments, prize money, and even collegiate scholarships involved in fishing. So if you’re interested and want to get your feet wet (no pun intended) it’s time to get started.
GET STARTED:Essentially you can catch fish with a tree branch and a string, but if you want to invest in equipment the startup cost will run you no more than $80.00-$90.00. Bass fisher Roger lee Brown gives a few tips on how to get started for a low cost.
Tip 1. Don’t buy everything in front of you. Every-thing that looks good may not work for you or you could get the same quality for a lower price. With a variety of lures, rods, and baits it’s easy to get con-fused so do your homework and ask around.
Tip 2. Learn as much as you can and ask an angler what they prefer to use and get their advice.
Tip 3. Know your budget and know what you can afford for the right price you can get everything you need and have a great time doing it.

Now that you’ve got your equipment, the next step would be to to a pond or lake and try it out. Bass fishing is one of the most lucrative and challenging fishing types. John Smith, owner of The Bass House in Peachtree City, is more than willing to help any newcomer get started. “Come up here and visit me and we’ll teach you how to do it. We do it all the time. We have kids come in here four, five, or six with their dads and once they catch a fish they get more interested,” said Smith.
John Smith has been fishing for more than 40 years and enjoys the sporting aspect of fishing. “It’s the thrill of the chase, especially in large mouth bass fishing. Bass fishing is more of a challenge,” said Smith. So if you’re looking for a challenge there are plenty of youth and adult tournaments to get involved in.
Dawson Lenz, an employee at The Bass House, is a McIntosh High School senior and a member of the McIn-tosh’s Fishing Team. On September 10th Dawson and his partner Dalton Anderson won the High School Southeast Regional Tournament on Lake Harding. The duo entered the tournament with confidence, which is one essential aspect you need if fishing competitively is your goal. “I believe that every good angler has confidence. You have to have a confident attitude in anything you do, but espe-cially when you’re on the water,” said Lenz.
Dawson Lenz and John SmithOutside The Bass House in Peachtree City
Dawson Lenz, a senior at McIntosh, started fishing when he was three years old. There was a pond behind his house and he would sit on the dock with his dad and fish. He loved the sport and at 14 years old he joined the GBFN Youth Bass Club where he started competing in tournaments. The tournaments use a point system where the top 3 point achievers for the year go to the State Championship. Dawson was a top 3 qualifier for all three years he partici-pated. Last year he won the State Championship.
During his junior year, Dawson started a Fishing Club at McIntosh High School. “I started it because I wanted to meet other kids at my school that also like fishing. I wanted to bring a group together that could share what we like to do,” said Dawson. They have meetings twice a month and all are welcome to join. They go fishing at different lakes and have tournaments. “We just get together and have a good time,” said Dawson.
When Dawson was asked what he liked best about fishing he replied, “What I like best is that I can go down to a body of water and meet new people and share the love of the sport with as many people as I can.” Dawson works at the Bass House in Peachtree City and loves his job. “I enjoy helping people learn about fishing and helping people have a good time. Fathers and sons come in all the time to get what they need to fish and then they come back and show us pictures of the big bass they caught.”
Dawson encourages others to go fishing and have fun. “Some of the best times are going with your friends and having a great time. Even if you don’t catch anything there is still a great camaraderie,” said Dawson.

Lenz is also a three time Georgia youth state champion in fishing and is sponsored by The Bass House. He is not the only angler that the Bass House sponsors as this store supports several local athletes in their tourna-ments.
Randy Tolbert, a student at the University of Georgia, won the National Guard FLW College Fishing Southeast Regional Championship with partner Chase Simmemon. Not only did the duo bury the competition, but the grand prize came with a brand new Ranger boat and engine along with 25,000 dollars.
The FWL is the one of the best leagues to get into for competitive fishing. Anglers from all around can compete in 191 tournaments all over the world. FLWoutdoors.com or FantasyFishing.com is a great way to get started if you want to start the competitive side of fishing. Getting into an FWL league can be expensive, but with tourna-ments that reward approximately $10,000 for the winner, FWL might be something to look into.
With fishing being as simplistic as hanging out with a group of friends, fishing with your family, or competing in tournaments, they say once you get your first catch, you’ll be hooked. After my visit to The Bass House I’ve invested in a startup kit and can’t wait to get out on the water and get my feet wet.

A Word from GloerTrash Talk - Part 2
“With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.” [James 3:9-12]
In last month’s edition of GAME DAY, we talked about how out of the over-flow of the heart, the mouth speaks. We also shared that things such as gossiping, manipulating, complaining, slandering, lying, putting down others, and things of the like do not just come out for no apparent reason; they flow from the source, the heart. The tongue that is not under control can do dam-age far beyond what we may ever realize. It is vital that we pay attention to the words that are rolling off of the tips of our tongues.
I believe that one of the most powerful passages in Scripture is found in Proverbs chapter eighteen. In verse twenty-one it says, “The tongue has the power of life and death…” I wonder how often this truth crosses our minds: Our words have power. Every time we speak, we are releasing one of two kingdoms. Our words can speak truth, healing, and life; however they can also speak lies, destruction, and death. I have been on both sides of the equation. I’m sure we can all think of examples in our lives where we have both received and re-leased words that have had a significant impact in either a positive or negative manner. It is important that we recognize how influential our speech is.
James says that praise and cursing come out of the same mouth. Then he says, ‘this should not be.’ In other words, this is not okay. We cannot raise our voices loud on Sunday morning as we sing, ‘How Awesome is the Lord Most High,’ while during the week we are in the stands insulting how bad of a coach our son or daughter plays for. We must not use our prayer groups as an opportunity to cleverly disguise prayer requests as gossip. We cannot be the athlete who is leading a Bible study during the week and trash-talking our opponent come game-time. We cannot be careless with what we say because it is next to impossible to stop the results once it has been spoken. “Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark” [James 3:6]. Thoughtless words spread destruction faster than Usain Bolt crosses the finish line.
Peter is right on point as he writes, “If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ” [1 Peter 4:11]. You and I may be the only Bible someone reads, the only Jesus someone sees, and the only sermon someone hears. What are they reading? What are they seeing? What are they hearing? It is essential to note that we should do it with the strength that God provides. We can try to tame our tongue on our own, but we will fail. We must rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to purify us from the inside out if we ever want to exhibit a life of self-control. God alone can do a work in us that enables us to speak in a way that is honoring and glorifying to Him.
I would venture to say that a majority of us will deal with these types of situations on a daily basis. We should take note to stop and think before we react or speak out of emotion. Our words have power. Speak truth into your own life as you pour it into the lives of others. “He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.” [Proverbs 13:3]

“Worry about the things you can control instead of getting angry with the ones you can’t control.”
For the past fifteen years Drew Johnson has practiced many hours and played in countless games in order to achieve his goal of playing college baseball. Not only did he excel at Starr’s Mill high school, but Drew is now continuing his baseball career at Georgia Southern. Drew has played for a numerous amount of teams in his past fifteen years as a baseball player, but the main ones include the Columbus Chain, Homeplate Chillidawgs, Starr’s Mill Panthers, Georgia Perimeter Jaguars, and currently the Georgia Southern Eagles. Drew is a 2009 alumni of Starr’s Mill High School and he was a player on the varsity team for three years. In 2008 Drew was named Fayette County pitcher of the year. While playing for the Panthers, Drew was a key player when the team went to the State Championship in 2009. For Drew pitching in the championship was one of the most exciting moments in his baseball career. After high, school Drew went to Georgia Perimeter College in order to
pursue his baseball dreams. After one season with the Jaguars, the opportunity became available for Drew to play for Georgia Southern. “This team has been my favorite this far in my baseball career because it is the highest level of baseball that I have played at,” Drew said. Playing baseball and being a college athlete has not always been easy for Drew. He currently has a shoulder impingement and will be taking three to four weeks off from baseball, “This is difficult for me to deal with because I feel as if I am behind all the other pitchers who are throwing right now,” Drew said. Balancing academics is also not an easy task. Getting through days that begin at five o’clock in the morning and do not end until ten o’clock, which include practice and studying, is not easily done. Drew’s coaches have taught him
to, “Worry about the things you can control instead of getting angry with the ones you can’t control.” For Drew the positive effects of baseball outweigh the negative side of college baseball. Playing baseball for such a long period of time has kept Drew in great shape as well as given him confidence, and has taught him to work hard no matter what. Baseball has been a huge part of Drew’s life and he has learned, “ To pursue what dreams you want to accomplish in your life, and work hard for them because it will pay off.” In the future, Drew has high hopes that he will someday become a professional baseball player and would also enjoy coaching after college.

Private School - Athlete of the Seasonby Betsy Brainard
DREW PLANT - St. Paul Lutheran School
RACHAEL POWERS - Our Lady of Victory Catholic School
NIGEL DALLAS - The Bedford School
Drew Plant, an 8th grader at St. Paul Lutheran School, has been blessed with many talents. Drew has been playing sports at St. Paul Lutheran School since 6th grade. He has excelled in soccer, baseball, and basketball. As a 7th grader, Drew was voted MVP by his peers for the basketball season. Drew also participates in travel baseball. Not only does Drew excel in sports but academi-cally too. He has participated in St. Paul Lutheran School spelling bee and in the National Geographic Geography Bee. He contin-ues to be on St. Paul Lutheran School’s Honor Roll time and time again. Drew also takes the time to give back to the community. He and his family have helped serve the homeless at Turner Field several times.
Rachael is an eighth grader at Our Lady of Victory. Rachael is a veteran for the OLV volleyball team. When choosing a captain for a team, Coach Wheeler looks for leadership, grace under pressure, exemplary behavior, great work ethic, and a person that inspires others. The choice was easy for Coach Wheeler when deciding to make Rachael a captain. Rachael comes to every practice willing to learn, work hard, and to help the younger players on the team. Academic school involvement is also impor-tant to Rachael because she participates in the Science Olympi-ad, Yearbook, and Beta Club. Rachael’s teachers affirm that she has great leadership qualities, is an excellent student, and is well liked by her peers. Rachael is a tremendous role model for the younger students at OLV. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, photography, travel, music, and spending time with friends.
Nigel Dallas has demonstrated tremendous improvement, growth, and maturity during his last three years at The Bedford School, both in and out of the classroom. Nigel’s commitment to Bedford athletics influenced Athletic Director, Matt Queen, to choose him as the school’s Athlete of the Season this fall. Nigel participates in school sports year-round and has progressed through the school’s program from the Intramural sports level to the A-team. He has played on Bedford’s soccer, boys’ volleyball, and basket-ball teams as well as has been an integral part of the track & field program. Despite suffering from asthma, Nigel displays excellent speed and endurance and is usually one of the last players to ask for a break. Coach Queen values his hard work, dedication, and teamwork. Nigel’s favorite position on the soccer field is stopper, and he is eagerly looking forward to playing guard for the Bedford Bears basketball team this winter.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” [Galatians 5:22-23]
Anyone who has known me for lon-ger than a week knows that I am a relatively left brained kind of girl. I am extremely organized and I like to plan ahead, but the characteristic that prob-ably stands out the most is the fact that I like to make lists. I can make a list for just about anything. I make lists
before I go to the store, I make lists of things I need to do, and lists of people I need to call…I think you get the picture!
I get a great deal of pleasure from making lists and checking off each item as I accomplish it. For the most part, making lists has served me well. It allows me to see a snapshot of things that need to be done and it keeps me from forgetting important things. For list making people like me, it can often be very tempting to try and apply these practices to our Christian walk. After all, God gave Moses a list of things to do and not to do and called it the Ten Commandments, right? Or what about in Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians where he lists all of the characteristics of love? Some of my favorite lists in the Bible are found in Galatians chapter 5, verses 19 through 23. Paul lists the characteris-tics of people who are not filled with the Holy Spirit, and then proceeds to name the qualities that should be evident in the lives of those who claim Christ. I’ve even heard some non-Christians say that committing your life to Christ sounds like one big “What-Not-To-Do” list, and based on the way some of us live, I don’t blame them.
The problem with simplifying Christianity down to a list of do’s and don’ts is that it gives us a false sense of accomplishment. When I com-plete my list of things to do for the day, I tend to want to give myself a pat on the back for being productive and not wasting time. I know that I spent a lot of time in high school being proud of myself for checking the boxes of religion. I was a “good Christian” because I didn’t drink, do drugs, and remained pure. I was missing the point. Christ didn’t come and die on the cross so that he could give Christians a list of things to do and not do. If that were the case, he could have just stopped with the Ten Commandments. Christ died not so that we could try and imi-tate his perfection but so that his perfection could manifest itself in us. Don’t let me be misunderstood and think that I am saying that actions are not important. As it says in James chapter 2, faith without works is dead and a man is justified by his works and not faith alone. As Chris-tians our actions certainly speak volumes as to what we believe, but what sets us apart from other list-makers and good kids of the world is a loving and forgiving Savior and the knowledge that without the power of Christ in us, we can’t accomplish even the first item on the list.
