Dodgers' Josh Lindblom says his faith helped make him a better pitcher

There weren't any news cameras or reporters around.

"I'd be sitting at home anyways," Lindblom said. "It's a small, small sacrifice in the grand scheme of things. It was one of the most fulfilling days I've had all season."

This is Lindblom's way of spreading the gospel.

"It's tough to tell to people about Jesus," he said. "I take the approach of showing them first."

Lindblom believes his increased devotion to God has made him the pitcher he is today — a pitcher Manager Don Mattingly has come to rely increasingly on in later innings. The 24-year-old right-hander entered Monday with a 0.66 earned-run average in 11 appearances.

      Yes, you have to live your religion. Just to say you are a Christian, means nothing if you do nothing to prove it. You know like the fruit that the tree bares? This should come from your heart,not only your head.

    Even when you lose a game you are always a winner with The Lord Jesus Christ.

    Paul didn't write about baseball but he did observe the races and this verse can fit the sports we play in our day.
    I Cor 9:24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.
    Of course this verse refers to the Christian way of life and we are expected to live as unto the Lord.
    Philippians 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

    Good for Josh. It's good to see somebody like him in the public eye. But get ready for the national media to start attacking him like they were doing to Tim Tebow during football season.
