With the 2010 Olympic Winter Games over, there is an important lesson that we can learn from Team Canada’s overtime win.  First, they opted to become defensive-minded instead of remaining on the offensive.  While good defence is important, it will ultimately be the offence that wins the game.  You must score one more goal than your opponent.  As a Christian, it is a reminder not to become so defensive in the world that we forget that our job is to outscore our opponent.  Oddly enough, there is no overtime in the game of life.  Remember, Jesus’ last command before He left earth was not just to win souls, but to disciple them in His ways.

Scripture References:  Mark 16:15-20 NLT
