This morning on Mike & Mike in the Morning,  (a sports show on ESPN), the talk was about Lebron James.  Last night he scored over 30 points for his 6th straight game and hit over 60% of his shots, a record in the NBA. The all morning discussion was is he now the greatest basketball player of all time toping Michael Jordan?  All of the sports basketball legends called in to debate who was the greatest! It was entertaining, revealing, and completely irrelevant.

 

I love sports, I love sports because it’s just a game, nothing more, nothing less  We hype it into the be all, end all, but in the end, it’s just a game!  The world would love for us to assign extreme value to things that are not so valuable.  Life is a contest where a heavy person skates on thin ice. We usually find ourselves on thin ice, because we willingly  skated out on to it!  There is a solution though, skate somewhere else!

 

Choose what you value carefully.  Make the decision to invest in something that will accrue great value, Him!

I love this camera bag tag, I have on one of my Domke bags.  I have long subscribed to this philosophy, that it’s the journey not the destination.  Spiritually, it’s both!  If we belong to Him we know the destination, the journey is all down here, and it’s all about how many will we take with us!!! The problem is do you have a plan on how you will try to get people to decide to want the same destination you are going to?

 

Can we tell people where they should want to go?  No, not really, most people will not listen to that kind of advise.  Can we scare them into a decision for Christ, some have certainly tried, but I don’t think that works as often as some people think it does.  It is always best to see how Jesus did it!  It is simple if you read the New Testament, He loved them until they couldn’t resist!!!  It may seem too simple but peopel don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care!!!  Christ proved it.  His love compelled others to want to know Him, and follow Him.

 

Are you compelling others to want to know your Heavenly Father?  Love is the Answer…..
