Romans 12:10

What sort of person would be worthy of honor if he/she walked into this room right now?  A Hall of Fame player or coach?  The President?  The Pope?  How much do you honor your teammates?  How devoted are you to your team?

Paul writes about this idea to his friends in Rome at chapter 12 and verse 10, "Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.  Honor one another above yourselves."  Paul challenged his friends with these words and I will do similarly today.

Here we're challenged to be devoted to our teammates like we're family.  Further, we're challenged to honor each other above ourselves.  Let's give the same level of honor to our teammates that we would to people of position and authority.  Let's sacrifice our preferences for the greater good of the team, the family.

In today's competition, devotion and preferential honor will lead to a great performance by our team.
