God could have created everything to be gray and serviceable. Rather, He created a great diversity of color, size, shape, smell, texture, sounds, and tastes. Why did He do this? He did it so that the creation would be a reflection of His person and, in particular, His beauty. It is a masterpiece of function and form. The creation is a work of art.Art is sometimes thought of as consisting of two types visual art  like painting, sculpture, architecture, and, performing art  like drama, music, dancing. The Lord included both visual and performing art in the creation. Visual Art flowers, mountains, trees Performing Art oceans and rivers, planetary orbits, clouds. Some things in creation combine the two.Sports are a reflection of this creative activity of the Lord. They also combine visual art painted fields or courts, team colors and logos and performing arts the actual play. Sports reflect the function and form of creation.

There is beauty in a play that is run to perfection, in a well thrown ball, in a diving catch, in turning a double play. Those things can bring excitement and happiness because they are a reflection of the way the world was created to be. The Lord also created things in a specific order, not in a haphazard way, and He placed within the creation laws or rules by which nature operates. Sports also have an order to them and have rules by which they operate. Just as there are consequences for rebelling against the created order, so there are consequences for not following the rules in sports. Sports reflect the nature and principles of the creation. As in nature, this reflection, when done well, honors the Lord and gives the fan joy.In the fall, man rebelled by sin and the curse which resulted from that fall touches every part of everything  there is nothing that escapes. This means that we would expect to see evidence of the fall in sports and, of course, we do. There isvarious kind of attitude and furthmore sins of action.

The gathering of sports data, including statistics and sports trends, is not an easy job and requires extensive research. Those sports bettors who do not have the time, patience or much knowledge about the sports on which they bet can seek the services of a sports handicapper to provide information on sports statistics, latest trends in the game, and other useful facts regarding the team and players. The sports handicappers usually have the knowledge and resources to collect and analyze the appropriate data and create a report on the current trends in the sports. The deadliest of these sins is the idolatry of sports when it holds the highest place in the affection of the heart and in the thinking of the mind. When life is planned around when games are played or when a person’s entire outlook is impacted by whether his team wins or loses, he has crossed the line into an unhealthy and sinful obsession
