Don't fall into the trap if pursuing in a way that you shouldn't

As a Christian, it is very important to make sure that your priorities are straight.  It is not a bad thing to pursue sports for God's glory, but this must not be done at the expense of more important things such as family or other ministries God has called you to.  It can be easy to fall into the trap of justifying an unhealthy pursuit of sports by saying, "well I am doing this for God's glory.  I am doing this to further His Kingdom".  While there is nothing wrong with this desire, there is something wrong with it if you are placing this pursuit ahead of other priorities which are more important in God's sight.  It is important to be seeking God to make sire that your priorities are in line with His and that you are not attempting to justify an improper pursuit of sport.
