Greed is sin. Lust is sin. Hate is sin. Driving in a car is gambling since someone dies in an auto accident every 16 minutes in the U.S. Can gambling be sin...absolutely. And even more reason to pray for one another. For some the stakes are moderate and controlled; and for others going on tilt becomes greed; and greed lust; and lust becomes envy and hate. "...all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans, The Apostle Paul "...if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved..." Romans, The Apostle Paul |

On this championship day, oh Lord,
May we all keep things in perspective, Help us to have perfect priorities, Give the players strength for their best, in their job, The fans humility in the face of celebration and angst, Draw us to your heart for the destitute, For those that win, a percentage for the needy. For those who go on tilt, May a new foundation be built, for a joyful life. In Christ's mighty name, Amen. "No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you." -The One and Only |

The truth cannot be shot down...only flesh and blood can.
Live by the spirit. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness..." - Galatians 5, The Apostle Paul
