AND NOW.
We will have to agree that in the world of sport only the current celebrities shine the brightest. They are the youngest stars who, on the heat spectrum, register the color blue. But out there in the sports firmament there are red giants of which most people have never heard.
Take Margaret Court(nee Smith) for example. Thirty or so years ago she took the tennis world by storm and accumulated such a trove of titles as has never been matched since.
This sports prodigy from Australia also happened to be a fervent Christian and, when her playing days were over, went on to be as great a contender for Kingdom of God.
She makes regular appearances on Australian Television and has carried the battle for the Family into the Australian Houses of Parliament.
In a country that idolises it Sports Stars she has used her fame to glorify God.
Think it not strange that you have never heard of Margaret Court.
The media do their best to suppress faith, personal integrity and a bold testimony for Jesus Christ, yet these are the virtues that shine brightest in the Heavens that really matter.
Keep shining for Jesus
Jubilate.
