Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
In the movie “Coach Carter,” Coach Carter’s team was comprised of selfish and rebellious inner-city kids. Building an effective team seemed hopeless until one of his team members tried hard, but failed, in finishing his assigned push-ups as punishment.
When Coach Carter asked this player to leave the team, one of the other players volunteered, “I’ll do his push-ups. You said we’re a team and when one person struggles we all struggle.”
Soon, each team member was doing exercises to help their failing teammate. Coach Carter finally had a real team!
Galatians 6:2 says, “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
Selfishness hinders the maturing of a team, but, by carrying each other’s burdens, we begin to see the power of teams.
