Stephen Curry likes to point people to “the Man who died for our sins on the cross.” Curry was named the National Basketball Association 2015 Most Valuable Player and led the Golden State Warriors to the championship. Yet his eyes are on heavenly prizes. Curry credits his parents for teaching him that studying for school and washing the dishes were more important than basketball. Most of all, they taught God’s Word and modeled their faith at home every day. As a result, Curry was 13 when he accepted Jesus as his Savior.

A faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice.

II Timothy 1:5

“It was a big decision that my parents couldn’t make for me,” said the superstar point guard. “I’m His humble servant right now and I can’t say enough how important my faith is to who I am and how I play the game.”

In the Bible, it was the influence of Timothy’s mother and grandmother that led him to Jesus Christ. So remember to pass the ball of faith through your words and actions to the children in your life. Pray that America’s leaders also see the importance of being godly examples to this nation’s future generation.
