Sports Attire in Christian life- Technology rescue youths in churches

Afternoon to you All

Today, I would like to air the views on how sports defect women in Christian circles. I have read many great articles by Christian men and women regarding the participation of women in the workforce, politics, and in the military. However, I feel there is one other major activity these writers have not addressed. For some reason, they've overlooked women’s participation in sports versus their Christian beliefs.

This is what Florence Mugova (18), a member of Apostolic Faith Mission said: “For quite a long time, women resisted the feminist call to play sports, since some church values are against the idea of tight sports wear. In 2011, we had a youth camp at Shalom and we faced great criticism from the church elders regarding our sports attire. They said it did not comply with the church doctrines. We were then forced not to participate in church activities regarding sports.”

She said that as youths, sports promoted unity and friendship and it played an edutainment role amongst the people of her age. She highlighted that female youths at her church no longer like sports and spend most of their time chatting on facebook and on whatsapp as a form of entertainment.  

Therefore, church beliefs are seen as an act of insanity of which some people may end up disputing sports activities in regards to the attire. Some people can be discouraged to engage in sports because of the conditions set by the church. I think this should give us strong reason to pause and consider the question, “Should women participate in sports?”
   

Since most Christian parents send their children to the public schools, it doesn’t surprise many of us that Christians are influenced more by the secular school culture than by the culture of the Church. Worse, the Church itself is being more heavily influenced by the culture instead of the other way around. One of the trends in schools is the participation in sports by women; therefore, it shouldn’t surprise us that so many Christian daughters today participate in sports. But is this really all that bad?

For those of us who believe we should train females according to Titus 2, Peter 3, and other Biblical passages, my answer is “Yes, it is not good.” I propose that sports greatly hinder the development of Godly, Biblical, feminine character. Does women behaviour depend on individuals and are there any health benefits for women to participate in sports? Are sports empowering women?

Parents today use extraordinary amounts of time and energy taking their daughters from one sports event to another, week after week, even to the point where it exhausts the family and family resources. The fruits we see are that today’s Christian women are often ill-prepared to be Biblically obedient wives and mothers. This brings to mind a couple of questions: “Why do we spend so much time preparing women to play sports?" and "What does it prepare them for in the future?” My answer is that sports prepare women to be more like men. Instead of spending all that time preparing young females as the Bible directs, we are training them to be like men so they can better compete with men in traditionally masculine roles - i.e., compete with them in the workforce, in politics, in the military, and in sports.

Given that sports may very well foster humanistic attitudes, I urge parents to think deeply about this issue and about whether or not any members of their families should participate in organized sports programs. I hope you will agree with me that we should keep women away from competitive sports and spend our time training them how to be Biblically feminine women, wives and mothers.
