A Winning Play

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day."2Cor:16
You know sometime we need to hear Good news. Something positive. Something good. Other than you had a boil removed. Or that you finally wash that piled of clothes in the corner of the bathroom that was starting to move. Or that your uncle no longer makes unusually large noises.
But, news that encourages. uplifts. Puts a smile on your face. Like a winning play!

Ok...I have a friend whose church this past weekend had 91 people turn there lives to God! Plus, had 21 people get baptized! And the church where I attend 19 people got baptized!

That is what I am talking about. Sounds like Good news to me!

The repenting, turning your life to God, is when you feel and know God has come into your heart. You feel different. A veil has been removed from your eyes and you see things differently. You know if you were to die today, you would go to heaven. Cool, huh?

As you probably know, baptism is telling the world you are a follower of JC. I am not talking about the rapper(Beyonce's husband), but Jesus Christ.


Some people will think this stuff is crazy. And you know what? Sometimes, it sure can seem that way. But it was what God set up when he huddle up with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. He drew a diagram of this winning play. Like in a basketball game.

He had Jesus doing the Cross thing. The Resurrection thing. Then the Holy Spirit coming through and dunking into our hearts as we ask him to.
Keep in mind, the devil is playing zone. (I understand he looks like the robot devil in the Futurama show) Trying to keep whoever from opening their eyes, minds, and hearts to the Good news. But, he is no match.

I know it sounds wacky and crazy but if you look into the good book. you'll find this stuff.

You know... is there really anything more important than knowing where you are going to be if you were to die today? Probably not.

I Thank God for his winning play.May we be renewed day by day!
