Magnify

WESLEY BRITT WAS a 6-foot-8-inch, 312-pound lineman for the Crimson Tide (University of Alabama)...

He was one of 22 football players nationwide chosen to the Playboy All-American team. With the honor came a free week at the mansion, the opportunity to meet Hugh Hefner, and a chance to be pampered by real-life Playboy bunnies. And yet Wesley turned it all down. He said, “Initially, I was like, ’Yeah, I’m going to take it.It’s a great honor. But after thinking about it for a while, I decided this is not one of my goals. I put God first and I set my goals for Him. I talked to God about it and I felt it just wasn’t the right thing to do."

KneEmail: "According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death" (Phil. 1:20).

THOUGHT: How is Christ magnified in you?
