Competition or Cooperation?

Cooperation is what Christianity is about. Symbiosis in nature is common. Schools teach us that competition is the way to go. First, we see it in getting excellent grades in your report card and winning at sports events, but also we are taught this as a fact in science. Kids are told that evolution is powered by unfit weaklings dying and only the strong survive.

What does God say?

Galatians 6:2
Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.

Colleges have certainly cut back on chemistry equipment and laboratories, but sports participation increases every year. It is like we are not sent there to study, but to play games.

Most teams quickly learn lesson one. There are many losers, but only one winner. This is a terrible message. People should not be competing with each other, but instead learning to help each other.

What Does Christ Say?

Christ says the following in this Bible verse.

John 15:12
This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.


Notice that our Lord does not tell us to beat up other Christians so we can win.
